And MrFibble gets the fifth and final (or even, premium) position on the podium with his wobbly sets monstrosity :

Returning from the pub at exactly the wrong moment, I found myself subjected to the opening sequence of some dire bilge called "Alien Siege".
Due attention has been paid, to the claim of "not claiming anything". Your beloved subconscious has achieved it's end of hoisting the Poisoned Chalice overhead. Did we tell you that one of the toxins smeared on the handles is absorbed through the skin? Sorry - I thought the "Hazard" tape and 400-+ page long trail of bodies was sufficient warning.
Other runners and riders :
Disembodied on step 1 with Alan Moore's squid avocado molester
ffutures on step 2 with DC's less childish offering.
NiteOwl one step 3 for the Harryhausen-fest that was tearing down San Francisco on the telly a few weeks ago.
ffutures swiftly hopping to step 4 with "Day of the Purple Tentacle (1993)"
And finally
MrFibble and his untrustworthy subconscious with "Alien bilge Seige" - which should also be a pop group.
Poisoned chalice, armoured gloves and broad-spectrum antibiotics. Safety goggles too - did we mention there was a spitting mamba in the Chalice's murky history?
For the record, the "nameless one" clue I was dropping was the encounter between Captain Nemo's ("nameless") Nautilus and a giant squid - which has featured on celluloid on several occasions, though I think it was a smaller scene in the book - just a few lines.
I also had a recent Red Dwarf binge, and one of their "monster of the week" episodes had a cameo role for the "Squid of Despair". What was the ace
ffutures had up his sleeve?
