the vampiric allure of the xenomorph

so what is it they have, these insanely warped creatures, that makes Giger able to depict his wicked visuals? THEY HAVE ALLURE like vampires of ancient lore, in many ways. Think of the original ALIEN (for me Aliens, fun ride that it was, broke this essential rule) where you have a still transmutable or at least acid-secreting lone-hunter Alien seeding his own nest. All the confrontation scenes in ALIEN were memorable for one solid feature - something the alien was or did (at the mesmerising/stun/forcefield level) meant that once it had a CLOSE-RANGE LOCK-ON to its next victim, they just stood there, not necessarily in fear, but just glued to the spot, unable to move. This was ALIEN's real threat, that you could outrun it, but, if it cornered you, you COULDN'T RESIST being drawn into its embrace. I think this was what Giger was trying to show; that even though the bio-mechanoid contortions it shares with you would incur such a total fear and pain penalty, there was REAL SEDUCTION in the way it went about securing you as its victim, its 'lover'. Not sure whether it was a pheromone thing, or a hypnotic head-vibration thing, or a psychic possession thing, I don't know, I'm just saying, "Once you were 'under its spell' you became its slave." This was how Aliens BROKE that, by just assigning 'grunt/hive' duties to the almost-vampire-like allure of the eyeless long-skulled horror. Cameron's follow-up to Alien stripped the original ALIEN (a creature which LITERALLY OOZED sexual assault and biomorphic seduction) of all its sex appeal. I think SEX APPEAL needs repeating again and again until we all understand the GREAT LOSS this franchise has suffered; it's been censored, diminished, truly toned down in that all the sexuality of its race has been scraped off like some venereal mushroom, scraped off and thrown in the kidney pan. Bring back ALIEN's sexuality - at least give it a Borg Queen slant in PARADISE aka Prometheus 2.
