Twilight just like Chuckie is a perfect example of interesting concept with very disappointing execution. I mean the lore behind vampires, werewolves, and shapeshifter a is actually pretty interesting and cool but it's a shit romance novel with a Mary Sue lead.

I'm not totally sure but do Mary Sues have to be competent? Cause maybe she escapes the mary sue label by being pretty incompetent character that can't seem to do anything. I'm not going to fault it tho. Twilight wants to be a rom... with rom com writing without the com. It never set out to make an interesting vampire story and that's fine. It's like a crappy american version of something like Fruits Basket. Or the guy version, the fantastic Jitsu wa watashi wa(this one actually involves a vampire). Or Karin(the reverse vampire, she gives sad people blood). There's plenty of rom coms with this plot, and it's not bad at all. I'm not sure why people expected more from twilight(which i've never even seen). That doesn't mean it's good tho.

The horror concept that always gives me nightmares is the idea of advanced technology in the hands of courrupt buisness people. The idea that things like food, water, and oxygen are worth whatever a captive audience will pay for it. The example that comes to mind is the black mirror episode where people have to generate credits by exercising in little cubicles where they get advertised to constantly.

There was a movie a saw back in the day, I think called the Ruins, where a group of college kids go to south america and climb a mayan pyramid only to find that the plant that covered the pyramid is feeding off their bodies and filled them with spores that is now growing out of them.

Lumberjack horror is definitely not a new concept, though I suppose Dylan may well have written the first book centered on it. One of the quests I remember best from the first Witcher game is the dwarf logging camp in the swamp that are slowly getting picked off by angry local elves, swamp monsters, AND a traitor in their midst. The quest is basically kill the big plant monster so they can escape, but aside from meeting their boss who pays you, there’s no indication that they do get out, and many to the contrary.

[@DemitriVladMaximov]

The alien timeline is all kinds of messed up, and I will ignore covenant entirely. Now yes the xenomorph has limited telepathic abilities and can read thoughts and intentions, but doesn't understand them beyond a rudimentary level. The huge brain and brain case may seam to indicate massive intelligence, but in reality the whole thing is best understood as a input and transmission system relaying data from the individual xenomorph to their queen who supersedes the individual xenomorph's choice. The first alien had no queen and was by itself, forcing it to follow built-in genetic instincts and memories to build a pre-hive structure so that as it went through the metamorphosis into a queen, there were hosts for incubation. However, when a hive is established the queen becomes the focus of the entire structure and the more xenomorph there are the more each individual member of the hive becomes disposable. Thus a queen will happily throw dozens or even hundreds of her workers and soldiers in wave after wave to wear down the defenses of whatever is attacking the hive letting the sheer size of numbers win the day. Now that doesn't mean they are wasteful or stupid, and they do indeed learn from previous encounters (using the duct-work to get inside the Marine's perimeter in Aliens for instance), but what may be seen as stupid to us is in reality a complete lack of the concept of "self" as important to the xenomorph as they don't have a concept of their own safety or value beyond being an extension of the hive. Another thing of note is that not only are xenomorph telepathic, they also have genetic memory and will pass not only their instincts down their genetic line, but also full memories and information likely transmitted from one xenomorph back to their queen who sends it to the empresses and the mother queen back on Xenoprime. This information is then stored genetically and passed down through the hive network like a massive internet system making not only current xenomorph deadlier, but ensuring the eggs laid carry this information pre-programed to all future xenomorph. So yes it seems completely nonsensical the way they act, but makes perfect sense when you understand how completely different from humans these aliens really are.
