Talk about ”creature feature”
Not in real life, but there’s a children’s educational show on PBS called The Kratt Brothers where “creature feature” and “creature power” are relatively common phrases.
Wait what?
As in like, an old horror movie based on a monster?
Uh, no, and I would suspect such a person who refers to their own body that way has some insecurity and/or dysmorphia going on.
Either that, or they are using the term in some newfangled meaning.
Yeah! Thank you for saying what I couldn’t quite put my memory on.
I have heard the term in the wild for both that and the idea of a person’s particular form particulars.
Yeah, I know if from being a Millenial and watching… I think, every single episode of MST3K, at least before the more modern reboots.
I … syntactically get how ‘creature feature’ works as… you describing a feature of yourself, the creature, but I’ve never heard anyone use it that way before, ever.
For me, its always been an older term used by basically GenX and older to describe movies that are based around some kind of grotesque monster, very often like uh, very schlocky, very low production value, etc.
Like uh, the OG Godzilla movies would be maybe the creme de la creme of Japanese creature features, the Creature from the Black Lagoon… shit like that, those are creature features.
