Prometheus was always going to provide a large slice of Body Horror given that it's set in the same universe as Alien, and that H.R. Giger returned to deliver new nightmares to the masses:
* The edit of Audiomachine's Judge and Jury for the trailer alone applies, complete with a Drone of Dread, the sirens from Alien and Psycho Strings.
* The entire Fifield and Millburn death scene. The tension when the creature first appears is bad enough but when it finally makes its move the scene quickly descends into unfiltered terror. It bites Millburn's hand and proceeds to wrap around his arm so tightly it breaks it. Fifield panics at first but then cuts its head off, only to get acid blood in his face.

| - Prometheus was always going to provide a large slice of Body Horror given that it's set in the same universe as Alien, and that H.R. Giger returned to deliver new nightmares to the masses:
* The edit of Audiomachine's Judge and Jury for the trailer alone applies, complete with a Drone of Dread, the sirens from Alien and Psycho Strings.
* The entire Fifield and Millburn death scene. The tension when the creature first appears is bad enough but when it finally makes its move the scene quickly descends into unfiltered terror. It bites Millburn's hand and proceeds to wrap around his arm so tightly it breaks it. Fifield panics at first but then cuts its head off, only to get acid blood in his face. The creature immediately grows a new head, buries itself into Millburn's arm to get into his helmet, and then forces itself down his throat. All whilst Fifield's helmet melts onto his face.
* Shaw's self-administered emergency surgery. From the operation to the thing she "births".
* Bonus creepiness points for this happening to the main character. No one is safe!
* The fact that this scene is so utterly claustrophobic!
* The whole scene is a hundred times worse if you're a woman. Imagine every single fear you could have about childbirth all wrapped up in one scene.
* Holloway's death. He's clearly in terrible pain, and his head starts swelling large enough to nearly fill out his helmet. And then Vickers lights him on fire.
* The potential for an apocalypse. Not just on Earth but across the galaxy given the nature of the monsters the Engineers create.
* The attempt to revive the Engineer's head. Although some people might've found that funny.
* The Xenomorph's long awaited appearance. It's onscreen for less than a minute but makes it clear that despite everything we went through it's about to get a whole lot worse.
* The scene where Weyland, Shaw, David, and a few others wake up the Last Engineer. Said Engineer is not amused.
