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.

1.
In the Narnian book series, I remember reading the first book and how they had these special rings that made it possible for them to travel dimensions. That was the first time I really loved science fiction and there were darker aspects for sure to that story.
WAIT I HAVE TO EDIT
someone reminded me of JP OMG how could I , of course JP and the science in that movie and the famous quotesssss
"Ian Malcolm: God creates dinosaurs. God destroys ... Man creates dinosaurs..

Dr. Ellie Sattler: Dinosaurs eat man......woman inherits the earth.

Dr. Ellie Sattler: Dinosaurs...eat man. Woman inherits the Earth." BYE I feel ASHAMED I didnt even say JP first  


2. 
The only thing I would reallllllllly want to manipulate is cells/cancer IDK if thats cliche??? But I dont want to time travel, I dont want to live forever, those things dont appeal to me. But curing cancer....that would be nice. 

3.

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

-Definitely Originality stands out the most to me, and on the themes, plots, characters, the Story line, entire Spectrum / Extremely Realistic based on fictional reality

  • 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?

-Extend things we have not gone to. Pseudo-Science Inventions.

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

-Selfish High Advances that backfired, became catastrophic to eventual Post-Apocalyptic. Major Scientific Conspiracies. Nuclear or Biological weapons of Mass destruction that turn into World Wars, in which we could wipe each other out of extinction. Epidemic uncontrolled disasters, based off of what Humanities highly quick advances were results of. Technology itself in Conspiracy to World Leaders, creeps me out that alone / Hackers that now eventually hack biologically into our brains and control our bodies for example - Embedded Holographic NEW SMART PHONE chips barcodes, into our bodies (the next gen-trend) which people ARE STUPID enough to convert and buy. Eventually all will have too, to keep up with technology. Hackers login to our bodies and self destruct our bodies. Just things, I've read and studied upon. Amongst others.

Oh Universal, it's cute how you think people will buy the 2017 Mummy. For the record though, the original Monster movies were awesome, and I am still hoping you can make the new Dark Universe work.

1) I love the movie WALL-E. It's no horror movie, but the fingerprints of sci-fi can be seen all over that film.
2) I'd make a machine that brings my characters to life. 
3) Oh gosh, that's a tough one since they all scare me. Out of all of them though, my biggest fear is the probability of an Iron Man suit being real. As cool as that would be, imagine how much worse warfare would become!

what would you do, if you knew Forge, from the X-Men, and you still couldn't stop all this torture, fast enough?
    Is there an example of a potential misuse of science that scares you?
Teaching kids they have to die, just to exist, is really sickening, but that they don't, have anyone from death itself, in their lives, talk to people about it, probably sets your life up to let dead kids be dead, when they're standing right there, and they've lived in death, so they know what it is in real life, and you don't but you believe what others who weren't your friends, and couldn't be, tell you waht it was, anyway

1. I do enjoy a good horror story and even though at first it doesn’t seem to follow the science behind many of the movie greats, The Saw series really takes me for a dark ride. Yes he is a seemingly evil man but so are the victims as they all have taken part in evil. The science of it is how fear motivates you to do something you wouldn’t ordinarily do. Would you harm yourself or another person to save a life?

2. My use of science would be to give myself a better standard of living. My health is not the greatest and I would love to study what could improve my situation. The only issue is how do you go about reparations to ones brain...

3. Antibiotics are currently being given to treat a paper cut for crying out loud. The eventual probability of resistant strains of bacteria is not only a eventuality it is enevitable when will they no longer work. What kind of impact would that have on the field of medicine? Yeah it is not a horror film yet but I have see people die from resistant infections not only is it a miserable way to go out it is quite putrid and the smell...

1. Virtual Reality.
The VR trope in literature and other media has boomed these past few years what with technology continuously advancing to new heights. The expectations for VR is high considering how it's portrayed in Sword Art Online, Log Horizon, Overlord etc. And I do hope it won't take long to reach those heights in reality. But cool as it is now, VR has actually been around for quite a long time.
In many ways, VR is kind of overtaking the once popular "issekai" genre where characters are transported to new worlds through magic or some other means, this time it's technology. So VR just might be proof that there is magic through science.

My all time favorite story featuring VR goes to Ready Player One with the OASIS. A journey, a hunt, and an adventure all in a virtual, simulated reality with elements of the past has never been so captivating quite like Ready Player One.


2. If I could, and considering all the consequences that may arise, I'd like to have a pocket time machine that'd allow me to manipulate time.
A Portal Gun sounds awesome, too!

3. Cryonic Preservation. I know it's being done now but to see the effects of the preserved person after the process is still a mystery (at least to me). Would it be like Fry from Futurama or Squidward from Spongebob (fuuuuuuuutuuuuuuuure!!!) or something else entirely. Will the subject even wake up a years after when the world as they knew it has changed so dramatically, and if they do how will they take it? Human survival and self preservation might be different in the future, and the common things we do now might be a luxury in the future (ta-dah, investment 101).

hard to come by Virtual Boys nowadays (and if there are, the price would probably soar high). I know it's not the most impressive piece of tech from Nintendo but I admire their constant quest for innovation even it's considered a failure. It was still a precursor to the VR tech. we have now. Hopefully they revisit the technology with the perspective of innovation they and the industry have now.

1. The Mist
2. Teleportation - I'd do it as long as it didn't harm anyone/anything in the process
3. Bio-weaponry and man-made viruses

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

Alien probably

  • 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'd manipulate it, but not in a way that would harm anyone!! 

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

Reanimation :0 the thought of dead beings walking again,, goodness, it scares me

1. The original Reanimator (Stuart Gordy).
2. I would use science to make our lives easier, better, which I actually am doing in my career as a chemist, so it is possible. And the consequences are lots of school, hard work /complex work for entire career but the pay ain't bad!
3. Human testing or even worse products going to market (drugs, cosmetics, etc) that haven't had any testing.
