re: More freightening, Xenomorph or The Thing (spoilers?)

The fact that it is more difficult to deal with is what makes it scarier. I'm not going to be as scared of something that I think can be defeated. I'm going to be terrified if I think there is no hope. I also would be terrified if I possible had to kill a little girl because I wasn't sure if she was a threat or not, like in the example that Baloo gave.
