Kosemen Website: http://www.cmkosemen.com/ If I were to ask you ‘what is the scariest type of science fiction?’ you probably wouldn’t say ‘Evolutionary Horror.’ …Mainly because it’s a name I came up with for this video, but also because it doesn’t sound particularly frightening. Evolution isn’t scary… or is it? Twisting through the history of sci-fi is a hidden subgenre that derives terror from the altered self — from the uncanny dread of a force beyond our control evolving the human into the inhuman. So, for this entry into the archive, we’ll uncover the terrors of this category, and dive into the type of sci-fi that I find the most fear-provoking of all… 0:00 Scariest Sci-Fi Genre 0:49 I Have No Mouth… 4:41 Altered States 7:12 Xenomorphs and Necromorphs 10:01 The Thing from Another World 12:20 Annihilation and Cosmic Horror 15:45 The Problem of Zombies 17:27 Return to Slime Copyright Disclaimer: Under section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education, and research.
