@William: I totally agree. Less is definitely more when it comes to being creepy and unsettling.
I really miss Venom being scary like this. His Human-like teeth are way creepier to me as well, than his massive monster-teeth and big ol’ tongue from later on. It’s the uncanny valley effect I think, the Human feature makes the overall design more disturbing.
