S own double nature neatly matches up with a persistent double vision common to the cult film. It does so by bringing together an international array of scholars to address key questions about the intersections of sf and cult cinema: how different genre elements, directors, and stars contribute to cult formation; what role fan activities, including? Participation, play in cult development; and how the occulted or? The volume pursues these questions by addressing a variety of such sf cult works, including Robot Monster [tel], Zardoz [tel], A Boy and His Dog [tel], Tetsuo: The Iron Man [tel], Space Truckers [tel], Ghost in the Shell [tel], and Iron Sky [tel]. What these essays afford is a revealing vision of both the sf aspects of much cult film activity and the cultish aspects of the whole sf genre.
