L'Écran fantastique is a French magazine created in 1969 by Alain Schlockoff, dedicated to fantastic and science-fiction cinema.
[3] The magazine began its publication history with a limited trial run in 1969 and 1970, which lacked the print design and formal publishing of Horizons du fantastique.
Though billed as a quarterly, it remained subject to schedule disruptions and some projected issues of L'Écran fantastique were reformatted into installments of Cinéma d'aujourd'hui, a collection of monographs published by movie literature specialists FilmÉditions.
[1] An English-language version of the magazine, simply called Fantastique, debuted in the United Kingdom in 2009,[11] with eyes on a possible US launch.
[11] The magazine's publisher also promoted the Paris International Festival of Fantastic and Science-Fiction Film, which ran for eighteen editions between 1972 and 1989.
