I have gone to multiple horror conventions, watch horror movies, and obviously love Halloween but when I think horror, Halloween, or anything of the sort, sci-fi does not enter my head.
Now dont get me wrong, Sci-Fi has some good movies out there and some freaky ones as wll (ex; Dark Skies) but I just think they go together.
Perfect example, I was in Spirit last week (getting new tires on the car and there was a store across the way I could walk to and waste time) so I was looking around and I was in the prop section. I was looking at tombstones, skeletons, zombie babies (terrible props), bloody hooks, etc and all of a sudden I hear this weird nose behind me; sounded like a ray gun.
So I turn around and it was this little alien prop (the size of the dumb zombie babies) with its eyes glowing green. It was more of an annoyance than a "hey that's cool" reaction. So you see my point, all this Halloween/horror stuff and then there is this little alien; it just does not fit.
Anyone agree with the horror/sci-fi correlation?
Does anyone say "hey it's Halloween, let's decorate with aliens this year"?
