Currently binge watching Monsters, The Hitchhiker, Tales from the Crypt, Are You Afraid of the Dark, and the 80s Alfred Hitchcock reboot and it has me missing anthology series. Saw a lot in the 80s/90s. Anyone have a favorite?
If I had to pick just one I guess mine would be the original TZ but I have a soft spot for the 80s version. One Step Beyond is an old but good one. Nightmare Cafe was a good but very short lived series.
What, no love for Métal Hurlant Chronicles? Closest thing we're gonna get to an adaptation of the original Heavy Metal bandes dessinées (other than the movies) now that DC/Marvel have shit the bed.
Had never heard of it. Will have to check it out. I’m so ignorant of French sci-fi but I hear great things.
A lot of what we consider "foundational" elements of modern sci-fi are blatant ripoffs of French and Belgian "reactionary" sci-fi from the 60s and 70s. H. R. Giger and Jean Giraud (Moebius) in particular either created or inspired a lot of work.
I have the Valerian comics but that’s it. Wasn’t 5th Element inspired by French sci-fi? I really need to check that out. Razorfist is a big fan. Also isn’t 5th Element inspired by French Sci-Fi?
The Fifth Element was essentially Giraud taking his and O'Bannon's The Long Tomorrow and using some of the visuals Mézières had done for Valerian novels.
