While best known for his horror films, reading through his unproduced writings, it is apparent that Romero was a dedicated fan of science fiction.  Many of his writings reflect a deep fandom of not just the genre, but also reflect an interest in space that many of his generation shared growing up during the dawn of the space age and the advent of artificial satellites and human space exploration. 

In 1984, while finishing edits and filming A Nightmare on Elm Street, Wes Craven was also working on a script titled Twilight Adventure.  The script was co-authored with Vada Nayak and a revised script from August 1984 now sits within our Horror Studies Collections.  Some cursory research does not turn up any information about this project, so it’s unclear how serious the project was or if it made it past the script writing stage.  But let’s explore this rare and unproduced script here.
