     The Peterborough Science Fiction Club was founded in 1976, the year before Star Wars came out. As a Club we have gone to see a variety of movies, after all, it's more fun to watch them with your friends. Since the advent of video recorders in the early 'eighties, the Club has had the chance to view both old turkeys and more recent releases.

     A few of the Club's guests over the years have been associated with the motion picture industry. John Bolton drew the comic-book adaptation of Army of Darkness, the third Evil Dead film. Carl Dreadstone, (a.k.a. E.K.Leyton) did the novelisations of three 1930's horror movies. Gary Douglas novelised the first Highlander film. A firm friend of the Club is Ryan K. Johnson, an independant film producer/director from Seattle. Another trans-Atlantic guest was Richard Christian Matheson who has scripted and produced several Hollywood motion pictures. Another view of the whole field was gained when film critic Kim Newman came to talk to the Club.

     Not content with this, a few of the members of the Club have made it onto the screen. Along with some members of the local media group, Nth Dimension, a handful of locals appeared as extras in the low-budget, direct to video productions of 'The Airzone Solution', 'The Zero Imperative' and 'The Devil of Winterborne'. Even grander, is one member who obtained a role in Luc Besson's '5th Element'.
