Direction

Fantastic Films was intended as an alternative to competitors such as Cinefantastique and Starlog. The magazine set itself apart by featuring extensive interviews with actors and behind-the-scenes personnel. The magazine never featured editorials or reviews but did have a rather lengthy Reaction section that allowed readers to send in their letters. In addition, the magazine featured a Fantastic Films Archive Series, a retrospective section that highlighted classic sci-fi films of the past ranging from popular titles like The Day the Earth Stood Still to more obscure fare like Just Imagine.

gollark: I think makes it so that it can or can't be seen with blocks in the way.
gollark: I think so it works even if the player moves around before it rescans.
gollark: Already? Wow.
gollark: Merry Christmas ~359 days in advance! Let's hope they figure out if it's a leap year before February.
