Post a catchy sci-fi title.

My contribution: "Blood Monkey." A professor and his students encounter a deadly creature in Africa.

I'm guessing the strange creature is a monkey that drinks blood. Sort of the African version of the Chupacabra. I'm also guessing the director is british and the inspiration came during a Pims drunk where he combined the terms Bloody Hell! and Cheeky Monkey!

Hence, "Blood Monkey."

Horror sci-fi about a fictional planet where women with bouffant hair, compulsive liars, ignorant television viewers and the filthy rich roam around drinking one another's blood

See Robinson's book that he wrote with his wife Jeanne (an accomplished dancer) about
First Contact with creatures just inside the orbit of Pluto (I believe) who were pure balls
of energy and communicated by movement. They sent a troupe of zero-grav-trained
dancers to learn their language -- "Stardance".

And, of course, his "Callahan's Saloon" series.

A high-tech underseas colony becomes the human race's escape valve from on-land overpopulation. But it must cope with things like giant squid and other denizens of the deep, developing the technology to exploit the ocean for its sustenance, deep-ocean pressure, volcanic vents and earthquakes.
