Halloween and science fiction is a match made in heaven. Halloween is all about transformation-- taking ordinary things and making them seem mystical or supernatural. A pumpkin becomes a Jack O Lantern, a human becomes a skeleton, and a dog becomes a pumpkin. Science fiction is all about making the impossible seem possible. A Delorean becomes a time travel device. A boy becomes a Jedi. A robot becomes the destruction of all civilization. Transformation occurs at all levels on Halloween.
So this Halloween we're taking some time to celebrate the science fiction stories we love and the memes that spring from them. Every other week of the year we get to do normal sci-fi stuff. This week we can get a little bit spooky with it. And by spooky I mean vaguely Halloween-related and not scary at all. So while you're getting your costume together, give these memes a scroll.
