Speaking of Parasites (see previous post), what are some of your favorite fictional parasites? Here's a couple of mine:
- The spore/parasite in Alien: Covenant
- The eyeball thing in Alien: Earth (that poor cat! :'( )
I haven't seen Substance, but was that a parasite?

At my first Bubonicon! Lots of fun panels, my favorite so far though has been this one called "Parasites: What Dwells Within Uninvited". The more the discussion went on the more I realized so many of my favorite movies have this concept in them:
- Alien
- Annihilation
- Bug
- So many others!
