Sci-Fi Monsters: Past, Present, Future | StarTalk

Who doesn't love the zombies? You know, they're always chasing you. There's always more of them, and they keep you alert. But also, who doesn't love a good alien? We all want to meet the aliens.

So, when I think of these forces that rise up in the storytelling of science fiction, I think it all started with Frankenstein—Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. I'm not sure what might come next. We still ride in that zombie thing—that's been going for decades. Zombies? I don’t see them fading away anytime soon.

Vampires? I don't know. I was never scared of vampires. I think I can kick some vampire butt! It's like, he's gonna get that close when you bite my neck? Just get out of here! So, I don’t—I was never distracted by vampires. Zombies are a little scarier. Plus, zombies are the beginning of the end of the world, whereas vampires, they're just trying to— they're just trying to live.

But I have no idea; I'm not a good future predictor. I mean, I think I'm an acute observer of how the past has influenced the present, but how the present might influence the future? I don't know.
