What's up with Twitter these days? Are the blue checks running out of opinions? Because lately the takes have been extra bad, and today's main character is journalist @elle_hunt, who thinks a horror movie cannot be set in space. It all started when @elle_hunt tweeted a poll asking whether or not Alien was a horror movie, after which she followed up with the controversial bad take in question: 'My argument: horror cannot be set in space.' @elle_hunt got dragged so hard by so many people, that she accidentally made 'Alien' and 'Event Horizon' trend on Twitter. While many responded with stills from their favorite sci-fi horror films, others argued simply that 'space' is just a setting, and horror can exist in any setting, as long as there is fear. We've collected some of the spiciest and funniest replies to @elle_hunt's Twitter fail.

Yes. Horror is predicated on the fear of the other, the unfamiliar in the world as we know it – space, we already don't know it

I feel like "bad takes" have transformed into "literally nonsense takes" in the last few months. https://t.co/yzDRPs97D2

I saw Dead Space trending and I was like, "THEY'RE REMAKING IT?!"
— CJ Rosete (@thecjrosete) April 6, 2021
But then I saw it was just a reaction to someone who didn't think space horror can exist. pic.twitter.com/iXwAH8K4wMVia @thecjrosete
