Sci-Fi Film Fiesta:
The Swingin’ 60s
Volume 7 -
“They’re Damned, Man….
DAMNED!”
What happens when the future arrives wearing the face of a child? When humanity itself becomes infected, corrupted, replaced…or simply rendered obsolete?
Prepare yourself for a chilling journey into the darker corners of 1960s science fiction cinema with Sci-Fi Film Fiesta: The Swingin’ 60s – Volume 7: “They’re Damned, Man….DAMNED!”*— a brand-new FREE eBook exploring four unforgettable films in which mankind confronts terrifying forces beyond its understanding… and often beyond its control.
This latest volume in the Sci-Fi Film Fiesta series ventures into a decade where Cold War paranoia, fears of nuclear annihilation, social unrest and anxieties about the future all found expression through eerie children, doomed survivors, apocalyptic landscapes and sinister scientific conspiracies.
Inside this volume you’ll encounter:
• Village of the Damned (1962) – The unnerving British classic in which the glowing-eyed children of Midwich quietly and coldly threaten the survival of humanity itself. The film explore fears surrounding evolution, intelligence and loss of human control.
• These Are the Damned (1962)– Joseph Losey’s haunting and deeply unusual science fiction drama blending juvenile delinquents, government secrecy and radioactive doom into one unforgettable nightmare. What is presented is a bleak British New Wave atmosphere together with nuclear-age anxiety.
• Children of the Damned (1964) – This chilling follow-up that expands the terrifying concept of superhuman children into an international crisis with apocalyptic implications.
• Last Man on Earth (1964)– Vincent Price delivers one of his finest performances in this bleak and atmospheric adaptation of Richard Matheson’s I Am Legend, a landmark work that helped shape the modern zombie and post-apocalyptic genres presenting the scenario of full-scale human extinction and existential despair.
As with previous volumes in the series, this eBook combines entertaining commentary, film history, behind-the-scenes insights and cultural context with an affectionate appreciation for the strange, imaginative and often unsettling worlds created by 1960s science fiction cinema.
