Summary: Horror in space - the final frontier? What happens when two of our favorite genres of film meld together well? A discussion of the strengths (and potential weaknesses) of science fiction horror. A general overview of the delineation of what makes good sci-fi horror work led your hosts to talking about a selection of titles including Event Horizon, Sunshine, Cube, The Thing and many others. Some true landmark films are set aside to make room for less discussed films (see our Alien Franchise episode and wait for The Fly retrospective). How do you cover off a subject which ranges from classic literature (Frankenstein) to laser guns in space (Starship Troopers)? Well, consider this show to be another Part 1 episode of a great topic. Keeping with the theme of the episode, we revisit the 1978 disco musical version of War of the Worlds in Schlock Corner. Plenty of listener shout outs and a bit of Guillermo follow up rounds out the show. Please send us your comments to: horroretc@gmail.com WWW.HORRORETC.COM
