Mad Movies is a French magazine created in 1972 by Jean-Pierre Putters, dedicated to fantastic and science-fiction cinema.

[1] In 1979, Putters opened Movies 2000, a film bookstore that became a hotspot for Paris' horror fandom and fanzine trading community.

[6] The title was reintroduced in January 2009,[6] first as a booklet bundled monthly with Mad Movies,[7] then as a standalone bimonthly akin to its original incarnation.

The Metaluna brand, which took its name from a fictional planet in This Island Earth, encompassed a short-lived magazine dedicated to b-movies,[11] a film production house active between 2007 and 2017,[12] as well as a store (which replaced Movies 2000).

[16] Between 2003 and 2013, the magazine sponsored a special Mad Movies prize at the Neuchatel International Fantastic Film Festival.
