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.
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.
The Long Tomorrow Part I
The Long Tomorrow Part II
Cool!
