Saturday June 6, 2026 4:00pm - 4:50pm EDT

Frankenstein. The Color Out of Space. The Body Snatchers. The Day of the Triffids. Alien. The Thing. Event Horizon. Cell. When horror and science fiction join forces the limits of fear seem infinite. Join our panelists for a discussion of the classics that have defined this popular blend of genres and why it is such an effective combination. How do the elements of these distinct genres complement each other? What must writers keep in mind when bringing them together? What are some of the best examples of sci-fi/horror from the 21st century?
