      Carcinisation. Presumably rooted in the Cancer crab constellation.

        Lol, the term and the constellation both refer to the Latin Greek word for crab

          That makes perfect sense and 2 seconds of thinking about it probably would have led me to that conclusion. Thanks for the clarification.

        Also a carcinogen is something that gives you crabs.

          It feels like it would be an Australian horror movie specifically

            They have other unique animals, crabs are universal. But I’m not into Australian horror movies, maybe it fits there
