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.
The entire strike team has incurred casualties from the moment they set foot into the blistering purgatory of the Underneath. They are the first humans to venture into this alien landscape, with their half-human, half-reptile native guide. And now they have to contend with a new enemy, a previously unseen form of armored, mantis-like soldier bred solely for combat, engineered to protect and kill!
