Today I had a funny thought. What if you combined the idiom, A creature of habit with The creature from the Black Lagoon. You'd get —

The Creature of Habit From the Black Lagoon

So, I wondered if any other idioms could be paired up with classic Sci-Fi titles. I found a few what I hope will amuse you guys. Here's what I came up with. Smile

I'm sitting on The Island On Top of the World!

It’s not Rocket Ship X-M science, you know.

It’s always darkest before The Dawn of the Dead.

Curiosity killed The Cat from Outer Space.

Never count your Things from Another World before they hatch.

Don’t jump from the frying pan into The Day the Earth Caught Fire!

Well, at least that broke the Ice Station Zebra. Rolling Eyes
