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.

  • i say its a bit of horror because people are constantly afraid and it made my hairs stand on end to find out what happened but...The barcode tattoo (one of my favorite storys and books) makes it to were credit cards are turned into barcodes and scientists activate micro bots in those barcodes to kill people and bring down the population and harm of the world.  but also the movie avatar on the planet Pandora where we ruin there home scares me

  • I would make It better by adding safety on everything. Some people cant afford to make there place safe. If it costs something like getting hurt tecnology, mentaly, social, etc then I would take it if its the better of others.(like being targeted by the people who dont want safety)

  • yes just in general of trying to use science to control people. (like the bar code tattoo)

    1) What is your favorite example of a science fiction influence in a horror or fantasy story (movies, TV, books, comics, etc.)?
    Kerri Maniscalco's book Stalking Jack the Ripper and its sequel Hunting Prince Dracula are my current favorites! In my youth it was the Mummy Trilogy that kept my love for horror and fantasy alive. 

    2) 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?
    If I were to be honest, I wouldnt manipulate it but for this questions sake I'd probably manipulate the human physiology to allow us to have wings, gills and other basic animal abilities that we as humans severely lack, it'd better our life by extinguishing the need for cars by a significant amount, planes might still exist for long trips. If I were able to, I'd do it regardless of the consequences. I want to fly like a bird gosh darnit!

    3) Is there an example of a potential misuse of science that scares you?
    A lot of things scare me, but what scares me the most is the misuse of Genetic Engineering. We're using it to make our children look prettier when we could be using it to give them the healthy genes of our DNA so we can eliminate the possibility of them getting cancer, inheriting mental disorders, STD's, whatever can be genetically transferred thats not good for the human body basically. I rather have a healthy kid who resembles me than a monster of a creation that potentially inherited all the bad stuff in my DNA.

    I agree on 3 but where'd you get the idea that "we're using it to make our children look better"?  there's a lot of talk about "designer babies", on both sides of the argument, but I haven't heard that anyone's actually trying it yet, unless I'm behind the times.  Credit where it's due,they are mainly using it for tentative attempts to get rid of genetic diseases so far.  In humand, at any rate.  What they're doing in other species is several other stories...

      H. P. Lovecraft and his method of describing monsters always fascinated me. The thought of something so unnatural looking that it can make someone lose their sanity is thrilling and chilling.

    2:  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?

    1. Various works of Dan Simmons and Clive Barker. Also, "World War Z"/various other zombie/science crossover movies and novels, explaining how zombies aren't some supernatural beings but rather a product of our own scientific mishaps. Arthur C. Clarke said it best when he said "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic".

    2. Total&Complete Healing/Regeneration, with possibility of Eternal Life/Youth. I would think damn well about consequences, but I would probably go ahead with it.

    3. Nukes, artificial viruses, AI-controlled military hardware, rogue witchers, Death Star, you name it. Even if someone designs a better, sharper butter knife, it can be misused (for murder, not butter spreads). But the truly horrid vision of tomorrow is rich and powerful elite, having enough power, influence and money to hoard technological benefits solely for themselves, leaving the rest of humanity to suffer - now that makes me sick to my stomach more than nuclear holocaust.

    1. I have always loved Star Trek. I think it's mainly because the science used in the series is never too far-fetched, and a lot of it seems possible in our future. Star Trek even influenced a lot of today's technology, such as tablets and cellphones. So I find that fascinating.

    2. As pathetic as this sounds, I would make wifi better. *dead*

    3. Human cloning has always been something that disturbs me. There are too many ethical questions involved (does the clone have a soul? Will they turn out to be exactly like the original or end up doing their own thing? When they understand that they are a clone will they fall into a spiral of suicidal depression?) that no matter what angle you look at it, there's still always something wrong about it.

    1. I'd definitely love a killer clown like Pennywise from It haunting the streets!
    2. I'd transform into one of my OCs, I'm fine with any consequences.
    3. Most likely a bio-weapon like a dangerous virus or something of the sort.

    • What is your favorite example of a science fiction influence in a horror or fantasy story (movies, TV, books, comics, etc.)?
      The classic Frankenstein, Dracula, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Alien, Doctor Who...so many!  It's hard to pick just one!
    • 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?
      Healing factor.
    • Is there an example of a potential misuse of science that scares you?
      Lots.  Who knows what happens in labs and other places that the public isn't told about...

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

    - I normally don't like horror stories but I really like the concept of ghosts. It almost brings 'life' to something so dull (my life).

    • 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?

    - No I most likely won't disregard the consequences. There are actually many things that I would want to do. First off, I would try to get it into a loop by giving myself intelligence so that I can figure out how to be immortal, how to solve problems, annd just do more in general. It's almost a loop with a twist. What if the intelligence I wish for is too vague? What if it drives me mad?

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

    - I mean, there's already the atomic bombs and such. Other potential things meanwhile.. is really broad. I would say that my greatest 'fear' of it all would be the misuse of technology that can control a population's lives down to each action and thought. (There are likely many more but this one is on the top of my head right now)
