When I was very young(1963-9) I saw this movie where aliens dropped from trees & chased people. Looking back aliens looked like canister type vacuums with long "necks". Im thinking it was black & white. I do not remember anything else but it was very scary to me! Thank you for your help.

The Enterprise, both TOS, DIS and Kelvin has 3 fins on the back of its nacelles. On the Kelvin-Enterprise, these actually open when the ship goes to warp, much like the deflector. But while the deflector aleays had a very clear purpose, I don't think I've ever heard anyone mention the fins, espec...

I'm looking for a short story written before 1998. Telepathy had been discovered and early experiments picked up thoughts from distant alien civilisations, which were vast and highly advanced. The aliens were unaware of Earth and nobody so far had found a way to make them hear us - human thoughts...

At the end of the series, Sam is reunited with Bill who made his way back to Bree. How on earth did Bill make it back safely to Bree? There were orcs and wargs all over t...

I'm looking for a story that's told in the second-person - "You are doing this" etc. At first it seems mundane, but then it us revealed that all the characters, including you, are wearing backpacks filled with dynamite, everywhere you go, burdening you with discomfort as well as with the risk of ...

3 male astronaut-explorers land on a new planet about a mile away from an obviously artificial construct, a massive cube. Each starts setting up his equipment for the surveys they need to make. The first to finish rides over to the cube and just sits facing it, in full view of the other two back ...

This story is neither Bradbury's "The Highway" (though I think it likely that was an earlier, and much weaker, attempt to deal with this story's theme); nor is it Thomas Disch's "Casablanca", which dealt with the same theme, but in a much more personal manner. What made this story so brutally eff...
