        <description><![CDATA[Wow, talk about ancient memories! That invisible thing haunted me for weeks after that episode. I guess I was easily scared.There was one other TV show that creeped me out so bad I couldn't sleep for weeks, I can't remember the name but it was like twilight zone, short vignettes. The episode that ruined me was about an invisible devil of some sort that came out of an old hoover vacuum cleaner.My best friend's mom had one of those, I remember finding myself alone in a room with the thing, I freaked out and ran home. I never did confess my sheer terror upon seeing the thing.Funny how a few seconds of TV in my youth shaped my life so dramatically. I made sure my children didn't indiscriminately watch TV just to prevent such a thing. It worked, when you ask them what they remember of TV when they were little and they'll conjure the likes of The Princess Bride. ]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[as a horror movie in any sense - it just never sets out to scare you. Counting mangled monkey-men, I think 2011: A Space Odyssey has roughly the same body count. I tend to have the same reaction to Forbidden Planet on a horror list, although the Id Monster is pretty intense. I'd suggest that the giant irradiated monster category is somewhat underserved.  I tend to think of Godzilla as more of a disaster movie than a horror flick, but The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms or Them! would probably make my list.]]></description>

        <link><![CDATA[http://www.techrepublic.com/forum/discussions/102-395222-3707095]]></link>
        <description><![CDATA[The bizarre cinematography of this movie in itself creeped me out, made the whole event seem surreal, not sure anything was actually &quot;real&quot; so far as the (so called) story was concerned.There was also the unknown state of 'grandpa,' was he alive? Or dead? You never did know...Do those 2 factors make Texas Chainsaw Massacre &quot;sci-fi&quot; on top of the obvious horror? If so, it would be on my top 20 list. It's just so different in overall appearance from anything else I've ever seen.A friend of mine forced me to watch it a decade or so ago, and I'm glad he did. Unusual experience. (ps- this guy is a first officer for American Airlines... the operator of the environmental ships in Silent Running. We started our aviation careers together, I went corporate, he went airline... I told him he'd end up flying for the US equivalent of Aeroflot. We're almost there!)]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[You can't go wrong to start with David Drake's 'Hammer's Slammers'.  David Weber's Honor Harrington series (starts with 'On Basilisk Station') is less grim.  Timothy Zahn, John Ringo, or Larry Niven's Man - Kzin stuff are all good.Of course, much of it goes back to 'Starship Troopers', but we've already hashed that out.  By the way, while it used military settings as a backdrop for RAH's opinions on civic responsibility, it wasn't about war.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[It had a profound impact on me. I saw it on TV one night probably back in the 70's. I must have watched hundreds of movies, TV shows (space, 1999 anyone?) and read a hundred sci fi books... few stuck out and made me think like silent running. I was 'haunted' by it for weeks, thinking about the implications, which of course cemented long term memories. Some of my memories of every day life of that time are tied to that movie... 'that was around the time I saw this movie...'Same with one of the opening scenes of Forbidden Planet, a scene chopped out to shorten it to TV specs. The crew step onto pads that turn them into some kind of plasma, so they can survive the transition from light to sub-light speeds. waaaaayyyy ahead of it's time.I saw that scene and the rest of the movie was a blur, first time through. All I could think about was what science would be entailed; in light-speed travel, in that transition state, how they'd be turned to plasma, then made coherent again... oh, there's a robot!]]></description>
