Enjoying Halloween in Salem

Welcome to TheoFantastique. This website represents the result of a lifelong interest in the fantastic sparked by sci fi, fantasy, and horror films from my childhood and teens in the 1970s, and my continuing enjoyment and exploration of such things as an adult into the 21st century. Here you will find a unique synthesis of both a fans enjoyment of the fantastic in pop culture, and an academic exploration of why so many people find these things fascinating. Through commentary and interviews, and an application of my backround in intercultural and religious studies, I explore the social, cultural, mythic, archetypal, imaginative, creative, and even spiritual aspects of the fantastic.

My journey into the fantastic through my writing is not only explored here, but also in collaboration with like-minded imagineers, including those at the League of Tana Tea Drinkers (LOTT D), CineFantastique Online, and Rotting Flesh Radio. You will find links to these fine sources on this website. I hope you will take a look at these sites, as well as the other links that both explore and enjoy the fantastic. My banners page also includes sites that I enjoy, recommend, and collaborate with as opportunities arise. 

I hope you will undertake and enjoy this journey with me. Along the way I think you will not only experience both fright and fun, but you might also learn more about the fantastic and what it tells us about ourselves and the world in which we live.
