Yeah, it's all BS. Whoever wrote this is making stuff up. However I will concede one thing: The idea of the tendrils being phallic is completely intentional. One of the most relied-upon methods of creating dicscomfort in a horror atmosphere (be it movies, games, literature, art, etc.) is the use of overemphasized sexuality. It creates a subconcious (or sometimes concious) mindset in most people that adds to the visceral sense of extreme vulnerability, so it's a valuable technique. It's the reason the Xenomorphs have a lot of phallic imagery in thier design and in their reproduction method, and why there's a lot of very vaginal looking crevices in other horror designs.
