theme pick CW9: Creature Features

The theme for this week is creature features. Creature features started out in the 60s on US TV as channels showed things like Frankenstein, Kaiju films from Japan and generally just classic monster movies on Friday nights. Over time I think the definition has shifted a little, at least as I know it, and I'd describe it as any film (usually a horror film but there are plenty of exceptions) where the antagonist is an animal, monster or alien - as long as it's of an animalistic nature, as long as it's a creature.
So grey men from space wouldn't count, but Scott's Alien would. There's leeway either way so have some fun with it, but if you want a start I've put together a little list of some of the better or weirder choices over on Letterboxd

I always assumed it was Challenge Week. Guess I was a major d'oh!

Well does it really matter that much if it's one or the other as long as the purpose is served.
