Tentacles... why?
 

This is a phenomenon you probably already noticed:

If it's sci-fi or horror it better have tentacles. :(

Why? :(:(

Re: Tentacles... why?
 

Because tentacles are distinctly inhuman/non-mammalian, and therefore scary/unsettling.

It might also have something to do with their phallic nature.

Re: Tentacles... why?
 

Quite simply because they reach out to audiences far better :)


(it's ok, I already have my hat. coat, scarf and gloves)

It's because of that perv called hokusai apparently, or it's not?

that makes a great degree of sense.

But then Alien happen.

I can agree on that. :)

MUAHAHAHAHA

In Japan they like tentacles for far more than eating

Well, the sea is a very terrifing and mysterious place. I can't even look up kraken without getting scared!

we have our own fetishes, let's not called someone a perv because he like tentacle
beside a perv wont sell his art to other
he'll keep it to himself and and use it daily

Interesting that male Centauri in Babylon 5 had tentacle-like reproductive organs, six on their torso if memory serves.

not for far more than eating
i mean.. it's still eating
but this time it's the tentacle who eat

I never dated an asian chick. :(

And I'm all about fetishes :p

They are indeed.

I'n referring to this strange need of depicting aliens with tentacles or to have demons/zombies/whatnot with tentacles.

The latest iteration is in Arrival.

Because sea animals are f*cking weird and slimy. Why the hell people eat them, I will never know.
