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.
In New York City, a reptilian humanoid is discovered who can speak English. In Columbia, a scientist crawls up from the depths of the Earth, bringing news of a miraculous new mineral power source, and demons below. In Texas, a convicted murderer is spared by an international conglomerate to lead an expedition to the center of the Earth, because like the scientist, he's been there.
