RE: Scott said "the Alien Creature" is no longer scary . . . .

In any horror movie it's the audio cues more than anything visual that create suspense and fear. That's certainly true of Alien. Hopefully Scott hasn't forgotten how he used sounds, voices and silence to generate fear. Heck, when I saw Alien back in the 70s with my old man, he jumped about 10 feet in the air after the camera came to rest on a computer that suddenly erupts in mechanical noise at the beginning of the film. Hopefully Prometheus is equally masterful in sound design.
