John Carpenter’s Tales of Science Fiction is the definitive collection of stories at the crossroads of horror and sci-fi. Follow us into a dark future, from post-apocalyptic earth, into space and beyond. Each mini series explores the universal fears of the unknown, alien life, interstellar travel, and the age old question, can anyone can hear you scream in space. The answer is no.
A gigantic UFO has crashed into Tattersall Prison. Officials try to contain the perimeter, but the inmates want out … and the invaders want IN—into the inmates. Hostages are taken. Bodies are possessed. Alien bugs infect anyone they can. Inside—chaos. Outside—chaos. And all around, a total and complete STANDOFF.
