Science Fiction in Horror and Fantasy

Author: eawood Header artwork by: vladmrk

When one thinks of creatures that lurk in the realms of horror and fantasy, an often overlooked detail is how science influences their creation and how action and adventure bring their narrative to life.

Take the case of the Mummy, an age-old concept of fear of the dead coming back to life. To the ancient Egyptians, mummification itself was a form of science rooted in their religious beliefs. While Universal put a fantastical new spin on this iteration seen in 2017’s the Mummy, it still kept true to the roots that scared theater goers of yesteryear—the walking dead powered by mysticism. But however powerful this mysticism, it gained control of biological science to reanimate this corpse and bring the Mummy back to life. Every creature, monster or character from the shadows of a nightmare can find its origin in the annals of Dark Science.

Take a look behind the scenes on how The Mummy blended mysticism and science fiction in the creation of Dr. Jekyll’s lab - The Prodigium.

Dr. Frankenstein's lab in Mary Shelley's 1819 novel was the birthplace of a new kind of science. In the book Mary Shelley uses Frankenstein's experiment as a way to explore the limitations of scientific progress, and to ask questions about the ethics of it.

Mad Scientist thegryph

Specifically, can science resurrect the dead, and more to the point, should it? Generations of storytellers after Shelley would incorporate examples of science being used to dark, foreboding ends. Not least among them was the Robert Louis Stevenson character Dr. Jekyll, and his famously destructive alter-ego, Mr. Hyde.

Dr. Jekyll's lab, housed in London's Museum of Natural History, also serves as a headquarters for a secret group dedicated to finding and neutralizing evil. It is called The Prodigium. In The Mummy, Dr. Jekyll has been transformed from merely being a scientist with a dark secret to an academic who specializes in evil "Mary Shelley... explore the limitations of scientific progress, and to ask questions about the ethics of it." and spends his life working to hunt it down. The Prodigium is the venue where Jekyll conducts his studies and stores artifacts. Having access to the resources of the museum allows him to perform in-depth research. Among the many curiosities seen inside the lab you'll find the skull of Dracula as well as The Creature From the Black Lagoon's arm.

Studying such auspicious and dangerous creatures is far from what constitutes a routine scientific endeavor. Just like Dr. Frankenstein flipping the switch and electrifying his cadaver back to life, this is a different kind of science with its own set of dark consequences. Dark science is what happens when science goes too far. For Dr. Frankenstein, it meant inadvertently creating a monster. For historical characters in fiction like Dr. Faust, it meant making a deal with the devil in order to discern the secrets of the universe. The Prodigium ultimately may have a noble goal driving it, but that doesn't mean that it's safe, or that unintended consequences can't spring out of it.

Creature from the black lagoon ogilvie

The idea of dark science originates from exploring the connection between scientific progress and the potential for danger. By trying to break the barrier between life and death, Dr. Frankenstein creates a monster. In looking for evidence of a long-lost species, the scientists in The Creature From the Black Lagoon incur the wrath of a mysterious menace. In Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea men use new technology to explore new depths and get more than they bargained for. In The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells, a super advanced civilization from Mars attacks earth with metal walkers equipped with hi-tech weapons. Science has long provided a foundation for tales of monsters, evil forces, and other mortal perils. When Mary Shelley sat down to write Frankenstein, one of the ideological "Dark science originates from exploring the connection between scientific progress and the potential for danger."questions she wrestled with was the idea that although progress in society followed from knowledge—like diseases being cured, or transportation improving—there was no inherently good guiding principle underpinning that progress. In other words, technological advances could be used for evil just as easily as they could be used for good. That truth opened up all kinds of possibilities, especially for storytellers looking to tell harrowing tales. Many of the most recognizable horror stories and thriller titles of all time—Frankenstein, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, War of the Worlds, and The Creature From the Black Lagoon among them—deal with man's pursuit of knowledge leading to terrifying outcomes, or show how technological progress can have deadly consequences.

Although Mary Shelley, Jules Verne, and H.G. Wells are considered among the founding authors of science fiction, the genre didn't exist as we know it when these writers were alive. These authors laid the groundwork for later science fiction storytellers, and they also founded a long trend of combining speculative, fictional science with Horror or Gothic storytelling. The common element that stories traversing these two genres almost always shared? Action, and plenty of it. It's only natural for conflict to arrive when weaponized machines start taking over cities, or when re-animated corpses begin terrorizing the living, but heroism and action-packed adventures also provided a solid underpinning for these kinds of stories, which manage to explore profound questions about society and progress while still providing a thoroughly entertaining experience. "It's only natural for conflict to arrive when weaponized machines start taking over cities"Dr. Jekyll is perhaps the perfect embodiment of this kind of blending. His work requires putting himself in harm's way, but it also requires the strong mental faculties of science. And the fact that he has a violent alter-ego ensures that chaos and action will follow wherever he goes. Dr. Jekyll's future path of horror, science fiction, and action will definitely be worth keeping an eye on.

  • What is your favorite example of a science fiction influence in a horror or fantasy story (movies, TV, books, comics, etc.)?

    I like when people are able to travel between planets and make friends with the natives of other planets. Kind of like in homestuck when john and dave and everyone go and make friends with terezi, nepeta, eridan, etc. I could do without the devastating death trap that homestuck comes with, but i wouldn't mind making friends with aliens.

  • If you could create or manipulate science/technology to better your life, what would you do, and would you do it regardless of the consequences?

    I would create a car that doesn't require any kind of fuel to operate. No gas, no electricity... It just... GOES. People would save so much money and there would be so much less air pollution. As for consequences, it depends on what they are. If my idea turned out to be one that was good on paper, but actually a disaster in reality (which I have a feeling it somehow is), then no. I would leave things alone.

  • Is there an example of a potential misuse of science that scares you?

    I don't like the idea of people trying to make robots that are more intelligent than humans. Humans are actual beings with souls, feelings, and empathy. Robots are machines and they should STAY machines. We shouldn't replace humans with them, eliminating tons of jobs. People are becoming so obsessed with technology that they're taking it way overboard.

I have very mixed feelings about this article. On one hand, I love Halloween and classic horror down to my bones, and I appreciate this promotion on that level.

But on the other hand, this article goes to great pains to celebrate the WRITERS who formed the underpinnings of the science-fiction and horror genre traditions, yet there is not one single Literature piece among the featured community artwork "inspired by dark science." Was that just an oversight? Or, does DA really feel that its writers have nothing to contribute to things like this, or that writers in general have nothing new to say in these genres since Wells or Shelley?

In the future, I hope you'll approach the CVs representing DA's vibrant and passionate Literature community for additional help and input when planning these projects.

Thanks very much!

The mummy is not science fiction its supernatural why does this genre always get over looked. The process of mummification can be called science and not science fiction since it was actually done but the dead comming back to life without the aid of machines like Ahmanet did is supernatural. Jekyll is science fiction because he uses chemicals which is science, Though why they felt the need to add him to the movie is just typical overboard american.

Science fiction is science ergo.

This is a very good post, expresses many things I was aware of but puts them across so well.

1. I think my favourite Ski-fy film is "The Mummy" starring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz, as it is humorous as well as scary.
The same applies to "Van Helsing" starring Hugh Jackman and Kate Bekinsale.
2. Curing disease and hunger probably, but needs to go in hand with a change in social attitudes as the Earth is too full of humankind already
As the Hitch Hikers guide said "The worst thing about eternal life, is all the wet Sunday afternoons". Eternal life - not a good project.
3. As to the technology to scares me this must include atomic power and germ warfare, as these can too easily fall into the hands of those with evil in their minds.

mrcrozier [2017-10-26 10:21:18 +0000 UTC]

1. Tough choice between books, video games, and movies. Gotta love those 50's B films. But to be specific I think a lot about the Animus from the Assassin's Creed series. It's something that can be used for good, but Abstergo using it for power and control.
2. I don't think I would. I think the consequences would be too great. I would love to find a way to manipulate time (stop it, rewind it, fast forward) for my personal use. But in doing so I would potentially mess with time for everybody else too...it could mean the end of everything.
