Back in the 1960s there were a lot of science fiction programs on television, but I would like to know if the classic Chiller and Strange Tales tv programs can be purchased on VHS video or DVD. I know they were not as popular as Twilight Zone, Star Trek or other science fiction series, but I would really like to see those programs of a long time ago again.

For me it’s my books. Ranging from classic literature to Science Fiction, to Graphic Novels, to historical biographies.

I have always loved to read and write about as much as I like to go out and see.

Fright Film Fan asked:


…as cheesy and simple as the original “The Day the Earth Stood Still” was, it STILL was a very poignant and important film, in the milestone history of science fiction. Now, apparently, even this classic film is garnishing a remake; here is the trailer…

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=46513

…man, talk about taking the concept of ‘poignant’ to an utmost & downright dark and grim level; if this is just the teaser…a taste of what is to come, as far as this film’s release, and what is to be contained therein, I absolutely cannot wait to see what the robot Gort, looks like, in whatever conception they’ve seen fit to come up with….

…what are your thought and opinions???

Srewsna Oohay asked:


I think the story was about a guy going back in time to a medieval town when he realizes that the town is going to be attacked fairly soon by the mongols and he tries to help the town get ready for it using what he knows from the present. Any ideas of the title would be appreciated.

stinedreel asked:


I am a big reader. I am huge on science fiction and fantasy books. But some of the books we read in school, ex: The Scarlet Letter,The Giver, To Kill a Mockingbird etc. Theses books were all written a while ago and are now considered classics. I was wondering ic any of you could give me some more books that are in this same category almost? And I have another quest for you.

I want books that I can read today, that my children will be learning about in school in 30 years.

Thank you.

Shalala asked:


How does this sound to you? Its the intro sentence but I dont know how to make it sound right
“A Clockwork Orange, the science fiction novel written by Anthony Burgess is often known to be a classic read”
or maybe i should say that its known for being innovative and bold?
Okay then. How about
“The majority of young readers today are apathetic when it comes to reading older books. The science fiction book “A Clockwork Orange” by Antony Burgess is a classic read and is well known for being innovative and bold to almost any individual”
