Join Butch Patrick in the back row where he'll be your guide through almost two hours of science fiction and horror films with clips and stills of the films that influenced the blockbuster hits of today.

Would "Jaws" exist without "The Creature From the Black Lagoon?"

What silent film influenced "The Thing" or "It! The Terror From Beyond Space" and even "Alien?"

You'll find answers and more in Fantastic Cinema!

You'll see mad doctors, giant bugs, tiny people, ferocious dinosaurs, outer space, the evil dead, and the barely dead as Butch takes you through 110 years of movie magic!

Meet our writer, Michael H. Price, as he shares his views on the future of sci-fi and horror films. Mike is the author of many books on movie history and the most irreverent comics - some are available on this site!

An added bonus! Click through 99 rare and obscure movie posters from the collection of Ron Borst, author of "Graven Images," with audio clips from the 'talkies."
