Have I ever told you about Peter Benchley's Creature//Deep Rising//Independence Day//Shapes (The X-Files)//The Relic? There lots of Lusty Masculine Monsters Hungry for a Hot Male or Female to Ravish with Lots of Loving! Any More Horny He-Mantis Teacher Love in the Future? I'd Love to read about him "Preying" on Gage, Cameron, Dodd, Sean's Swim Team! "Preying" on Hyena Xander with his Hyena stiffy! "Preying" on the Delta Zeta Kappa Cult, like Richard Anderson!
I do like mermen, grotesque or not. :D
Creature: It looks like Bruce took a leaf out of the Humanoids from the Deep’s book. Related, I’m planning on reading Jaws next.
Deep Rising: “Picky People Eater: The creatures are interested only in human bodily fluids.” -TV Tropes. Yes, good. Not the eating people part. Not sure how kissable those tentacle mouths are, but I would try.
Independence Day: “Combat Tentacles: Their bio-mechanical suits sport several long flickering tentacles that they can use to kill people with. They also pull double duty as a way to probe the minds of their enemies and use people as puppets.” -TV Tropes. I can watch this later today or tomorrow.
The X-Files: I’m not ready to start another non-anthology TV show yet.
The Relic: You mentioned this one.
Always happy to write about Buffy guys. Currently on season three.
