> I think that humans would have this reaction to the other human species, otherwise why are our horror movies dominated by humanoids, and not by animals? For the same reason that Dr. Who/Star Trek aliens (not all intended to be horrific) are humanoid - they are played by humans in a costume.

The reason there is that until very recently the only way to make a believable alien in the TV was to dress up a human in a costume.

Godzilla is played by a man in a costume; do you think Godzilla is humanoid?
