Steve Johnson's XFX made a set of full-body puppets to realize the alien Sil in Species (1995). The puppt's limbs and body parts could come apart to be reassembled, and its movements were controlled via rod puppeteering and marionette puppeteering. The animatronic head was cable-controlled for its facial movements.

The puppet's parts were translucent, as per HR Giger's wishes - it helped that Johnson had realized similarly translucent aliens for James Cameron's The Abyss.

Always a classic

The Thing/The Kiss

Mr. Cuttlefish’s Love Story

From Old Hungarian Fairy Tales - Translated by Baroness Orczy

i. the monster's body is a cultural body

ii. the monster always escapes

iii. the monster is the harbinger of category crisis

iv. the monster dwells at the gates of difference

v. the monster polices the borders of the possible

vi. fear of the monster is really a kind of desire

these are all direct quotes from jeffrey jerome cohen's "monster culture (seven theses)" (full pdf linked) i highly encourage you to read it yourself!

that said, while i think cohen's writing is evocative, it can be a little dense, so while i'm here, here's my capsule summary (you can also hear me talk about this in the first episode of my podcast) (listen to @ghostswerepeopletoo)

i. the monster's body is a cultural body - The monster is a work of fiction to be analyzed through tools of literary and sociological theory.

ii. the monster always escapes - As long as the cultural fear from which the monster stems persists, the monster will reappear in retellings, reimaginings, and sequels.

iii. the monster is the harbinger of category crisis - Monsters defy binaries and challenge easy comprehension or categorization.

iv. the monster dwells at the gates of difference - The monster represents the Other.

v. the monster polices the borders of the possible - Tales of the monster exist to discourage unacceptable or taboo behaviors.

vi. fear of the monster is really a kind of desire - Subjects can vicariously participate in the disruption of the social order through the monster.

Check nutrient balance. Check watering rotation. Check temperature. Check soil PH. Check drainage. Check feeding schedule. Check light levels. Check spectral baths. Check deadfall. Check new growth. Check leaf, vine and flower health...what have I forgotten?

Verdant vines and dewy snapjaws grow thick in the jungles of Farah-3, but after sixteen frustrating cycles, Seppi's team still can't coax the local flora to seed inside their growlabs. New frontiers have become old routines - and by now Seppi has learned to make their own fun on long night shifts in the greenhouse.

Nobody would ever have been any the wiser, if only they didn't slip up that night. If they had just remembered to decontaminate...but now the damage is done. And the plants themselves are taking notice.
