  1. A Two-Way Funhouse Mirror: The Paranormal and the Paranoid in

    1990s Science Fiction Media Aaron Gulyas @firkon | ajgulyas.com Mott Community College Flint, Michigan

  2. What and Why?  Paranormal/Conspiracy SF Television  How did

    they intersect with pre-existing communities which believed in these things?  How can these types of shows serve as a teaching tool for helping students understand American culture in the 1990s?

  3. Two (well known?) Examples THE X-FILES DARK SKIES

  4. But first, “Alternative 3”  Episode of Science Report, broadcast

    in the UK June 20, 1977  Meant to have been broadcast April 1, 1977…  An influence that extended far beyond 1977.

  5. The X-Files and the Internet

  6. Dark Skies  1996-1997, NBC  Draws deeply from contemporary

    conspiracy and paranormal culture  “History as we know it is a lie”

  7. Dark Skies: The Protagonist Needs his (true) story told…

  8. Dark Skies: online response

  9. Thanks!  [email protected]  @firkon  ajgulyas.com
