Pacific Rim (2013)

 

From a trench deep in the ocean vicious monsters known as “kaiju”. The only way to deal with them is by the use of giant robots called “jaegers”. The Jaegers are piloted by two humans using a mental link. But the government has decided that the Jaeger program is no longer working and wants to discontinue it. But it is only a ragtag group of Jaeger pilots that is standing between the earth and total annihilation. There is a sequel, but I don’t like it’s premise. As far as I’m concerned, the franchise ends with this movie, which I love. 

Dead Silence by SA Barnes

 

Claire and her crew discover the Aurora, a luxury space liner just floating in space. But when they go on board to salvage things, it quickly becomes apparent that something went horribly wrong on the Aurora. The book gave me serious “The Naked Time/The Naked Now” vibes. Another thing I loved about this was that it is a first person narration. This worked for this book because Claire sees ghosts but you are never entirely certain if she actually sees ghosts or is just nuts because it’s always seen through her eyes. Quite a great scifi horror book. 

The Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)

 

They did remake this movie in the 70’s but this is about the original movie. My dad says that this one scared him badly when he was a child. It starts in a hospital where a psychiatrist is called in to talk to a raving man. The man who is introduced as Dr. Miles Bennell starts to tell the other man about how the people in his home town are being slowly replaced by pod people. It is a scary invasion story simply because the people can be anyone…

A Port in the Storm by LuthienTauriel

 

This fanfic is a one shot taking place during a brief scene in the movie Race to Witch Mountain. As a nod back to the original two movies, Kim Richards and Ike Eisenmann, who played the kids in those original two movies make a cameo in the movie. In my story, they are the kids from the original movie who decide to help the new aliens that show up in their town. It was a joy to write. Due to some trouble I have had with conartists, all of my fanfic is now locked and requires you to be a registered user of Archive of Our Own to view.

The Jetsons (1962-1963)

 

The futuristic sitcom following the family of George Jetson. George works in a button factory. He is married to Jane and they have two children, Judy and Elroy and a dog Astro. Their maid is Rosie the Robot. They get involved in typical sitcom shenanigans.  It’s a cute show.

Into the Spiderverse (2018)

 

Milo Morales is bitten by a radioactive spider and develops super powers. Kingpin is attempting to open the multiverse to reconnect with his family that was killed some time in the past. This opens the door to the multiverse and multiple spider people to come and help Miles stop Kingpin and put the universe back together. It is a fun movie.
