"The Knights Next Door" is a great new book about the SCA from iUniverse, Inc.
SCAdian MOVIES! SCIENCE FICTION and TIME TRAVEL.
Some film makers have been inspired to mix science-fiction concepts with medieval cultures. Some film makers have had time travellers come from or go to medieval times. Some film makers just put sword fights into futuristic settings. Sometimes these films turned out wonderfully, sometimes they really stunk. Regardless, I tried to list all those movies here.
On this page are:
