The Flying Serpent
Emily Dickinson thought hope was “the thing with feathers” but Sam Newfield had different ideas—in 1946’s The Flying Serpent, the thing with feathers is a bloodthirsty mythological monster called Quetzalcoatl. But the beast is no fairy tale, scientist George Zucco has captured it and uses it to destroy his foes. In 1982 Larry Cohen gave the creature a glossy star treatment in Q: The Winged Serpent starring Michael Moriarty (whose character may be even more deranged than Zucco’s).
