5 Scariest Sci-Fi/Horror Creatures From False-Heads
1. Alien
I know it’s cliche and I’ll probably get a load of flak for it but fuck it. I don’t actually like that film that much, I enjoy it but I don’t think lives up to the hype but you have to put it in context, the creature is fucking scary. And the best thing the film does is perfectly build up the suspense and tension to the creatures reveal each time so it scares you shitless even more. The Xenomorph is like a completely fucked up distorted creature where the feature that hits you first is the elongated head with the scary as shit mouth and what I was saying earlier about insects (you’re probably bored of me talking about insects) incorporates into why the creature is so scary but in a different way. We find certain insects birth systems so gruesome and disgusting and Alien uses this to it’s advantage. It fucking implants a parasitic larvae in a living host which then breaks out, that is horrendous. Fuck that.

Katharine Isabelle Battles Cosmic Horror in Exclusive ‘Junction Row’ Teaser Trailer [Fantasia 2026]
Among Fantasia 2026‘s massive final wave of programming this morning is Raven Banner’s Lovecraftian creature feature Junction Row, starring Canadian horror icon Katharine Isabelle, and we’re exclusively unveiling the teaser trailer.
Junction Row will celebrate its World Premiere at Fantasia on July 28.
Watch a housing compound fall under siege from Lovecraftian creatures more dangerous than drug dealers in the trailer below.
Junction Row follows “Juno, a recovering addict who leaves a fringe housing compound for a better life, leaving her beloved Ruby behind. When she learns that Ruby has gone missing, Juno returns, only to find Junction Row has become a hotbed of criminal activity, but she encounters much more than menacing drug dealers on her mission to find Ruby.”
Isabelle stars as Juno, with Natalie Brown (FX’s The Strain) as Ruby.
The creature feature marks the feature debut by director Ashlea Wessel, who has directed festival-favorite shorts like 2018’s “Tick” and 2020’s “Weirdo”.
Wessel co-writes Junction Row with Clown in a Cornfield author Adam Cesare and Matt Serafini.
Katharine Isabelle is coming off a brief appearance in Kane Parsons’ Backrooms, and more recently appeared in holiday horror It’s a Wonderful Knife. The horror icon is arguably best known for her turn as the eponymous werewolf in Ginger Snaps and for her roles in American Mary and Freddy vs Jason.
Fantasia teases that Junction Row tells “a story where the fear of the unknown isn’t confined to what lies above, but what waits beneath.”
Stay tuned for more from Fantasia as the festival gets underway later this month.
