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.
Captured, jailed and used for arena combat and lab experimentation by living monsters from Earth's medieval past, the surviving members of the CalEx incursion team must figure out whether escape – or survival – is even possible down in the Underneath. These creatures have always been with us. Waiting for their chance to come back, topside … and reclaim the surface-world of Earth for their own.
