This one's even more depressing, because it's an Alien rip off that came out in 1985, and "Prometheus" came out in 2012.
The so called Alien prequel went and ripped off its own rip off, which is so sad. You may argue it's coincidence, but we're talking about Damon Lindeloff here. The guy who wrote that last season of Lost and Star Trek Into Darkness. It's clear he doesn't have a single original idea in his mind that isn't deeply stupid.
"Creature" isn't that bad, actually. It's not good, but for a rip off it's not the worst.

“What differentiates a Clue parody from your average murder mystery?” you ask. great question here is a list :)
1. the lights turn off, someone dies, the lights turn on
2. bottle episode, no one can leave the house for one reason or another.
3. the party invite is mysterious/no one knows why theyre there
4. MANSION
5. i want to kiss most of the characters
5. its more of a comedy than a drama
6. its either set in old times without mobile phones or all the characters dont have their phones for some reason
not all of these are required for a clue parody but the more the merrier yk?

Comin' Loud and Lonely
In order to take up the concept of so-called sibling albums today, just as it is often and regularly practiced in certain fan circles, I have decided to take a little look at Asylum from 1985.
This would provide more than a little confirmation that it must also be an album in this category, in my opinion, however, it is much less likely to be a sibling album of Animalize (1984), for example, as it seems to be set in stone in the handbooks of many hardcore fans, but much more likely one of Creatures of the Night (1982) (1).
And to go a small step further, I would even respectfully classify Asylum as a sister album to Creatures of the Night. And by that I don't mean a little sister, as Wendy O. Williams' W.O.W. (1984) , for example, is affectionately known, but a sister of the same age, naturally on a par with its male counterpart. Sometimes more and sometimes less, but I don't necessarily want to split hairs.
If I use key words like dark, aggressive or heavy in the direct context of Creatures of the Night, I'm pretty sure that nobody will try to dispute their accuracy, because these are all attributes that are often credited to a certain masculinity, or rather a male mindset. And men usually love Creatures of the Night unconditionally, don't they?
Well, if I now try to find a few hopefully accurate descriptions for Asylum, the terms colorful, emotional and melodic immediately come to mind without much thought, which doesn't necessarily scream femininity, but in direct comparison to Creatures demands a significantly higher degree of sensitivity and sensibility, which for me would generally still be more feminine than masculine attributes.
And despite the fact that Asylum is still clearly heavy and extremely saturated in terms of production, there is no shortage of male fans who find the album cover of Asylum, which is based on the three primary colors, anything but easy to deal with, which of course also applies to the equally colorful Asylum costumes.
I'll try to illustrate this briefly using the example of the chorus of Who Wants to be Lonely. And what chorus of which testosterone-driven cock song from Creatures of the Night do you think I might have in mind? I mean, what could be a more fitting example than Keep Me Comin' with its screaming, dick-driven foundation, on which Who Wants to be Lonely builds, not exactly quietly and certainly not stealthily, just equipped with a little more… Color, melodic embellishment and empathy in its vocal chorus.
Add to that Who Wants to be Lonley's Ohhhooooh-Ohhhoooohs from the chorus appendage, which are hardly anything other than a more melodious, sensitive version of the hyper-masculine and super-hard Hey-hey-hey Yeaaahs from I Love It Loud.
I guess you can't always be the hardest one walking under the sun, after all, otherwise where would that lead? Anyway, there are still enough male Asylum fans, so not all hope would be in vain. Perhaps they like Asylum so much because it subconsciously reminds them of Creatures of the Night, and maybe even Unmasked (1980) . Who knows?
But of course we must never forget that we're still dealing with Kiss, and that Paul, presumably to compensate for the prominently foregrounded femininity, and therefore on Asylum actually sowed at least the dick lyrics a little more liberally.
Ultimately Kiss are Kiss are Kiss.
Side note:
(1) However, I would also add Rock and Roll Over and Unmasked to Creatures of the Night, but I would be more than happy to talk about this in more detail on another occasion.
Who Wants to be Lonely (1985)
Keep Me Comin' (1982)
I Love It Loud (1982)
