This is, without a doubt, THE funniest thing I've ever seen/read on this forum!  ;)  Mark, you are an evil genious!   >:D

I almost put in a link to that, but I wasn't sure how much horror ought to be compressed into a single post.

I imagine he's trying to out-shat the Shatner with that one.

What do you think the creature really looked like, and what made it so frightening???

Many headed snake-like creatures would be terrifying (at least off-screen in real life-just one snake slithering down unexpectedly over the wreath on your front door is enough).  The legend of the Medusa is a familiar precedent (maybe the storyline writers had this in mind on DS, though keeping the Leviathan monster offscreen was a smart move, especially with the hokey props and effects of that era).

This sort of reminds of a Star Trek storyline involving aliens called the Kelvans who had assumed human form, but whose natural appearance according to Spock's mind meld was that of "immense beings, with many limbs that resemble tentacles."

Probably THE freakiest ST creature, to my toddler mind anyway when I was watching it, had to be the Salt Vampire.  She would take the form of some curvy chick specific to that particular male victim's fancy, then would turn back into this abominable snowman-esque thing w/an aardvark type mouth w/suction cup fingers after killing its prey.  Gave me the creeps!

BTW, she/it DID kill the guy in the red shirt, LOL!  ;)

Another Leviathan question:  The native language (?) of the Leviathans.  Also their pale skin color and robed, hooded attire seen when they first take Barnabas captive in 1897 and send him to 1969.

Another question: When the Leviathan monster was in its natural state, was it wearing any human clothing, or was it completely in the buff?  Only shortly after Sheriff Davenport is attacked and killed by the monster, it is transformed back into Jeb Hawkes in his human appearance with human clothing.

The only creatures on earth that wear clothing are human beings.  Why would the Leviathan creature be wearing clothing in its natural state?  And why would it be considered naked if it wasn't wearing clothing?  It's not human.

Arashi's site features Frenchy (16 magazine) and her rendition of the Leviathan.  Check out the bottom left hand corner of the Chris Pennock piece.  The kitty-cat snakey lookin' thing is Frenchy's take on the Leviathan...
