THE GALAXY YEARS, 1952–1969
The early 1950s were marred by the Cold War paranoia of McCarthyism, when intellectuals around the country were investigated, indicted, and otherwise harassed.

The Invention of Émile Ajar, 1974–1975
Looking to pursue his aesthetic vision on a more ambitious scale, Gary began plotting a new pseudonymous episode.

The Thing That Ate Saturday Night
In 2009 the channel re-branded itself Syfy (dropping the Sci Fi Channel name) in a bid to capture the full landscape of fantasy entertainment: the paranormal, the supernatural, action and adventure, superheroes. (The monster goes haywire and terrorizes bikini-clad women along Mexican Riviera beaches; 2.5 million people tuned in.) Roger Corman, known as the King of the B's for pumping out movies like \"The Wasp Woman\" and \"Humanoids From the Deep,\" said he reluctantly agreed to produce the film, which got its start when a Syfy marketing executive, brainstorming ideas for new creatures, came up with the aquatic crossbreed.
