Cinefantastique started as a mimeographed fanzine for fantasy, horror, and science fiction film appreciators in 1967, but transitioned into a glossy printed quarterly magazine in 1970. Fronted by editor Frederick S. Clarke, Cinefantastique became one of the most famous movie criticism magazines of its time for its quality printing and in-color movie stills. The magazine featured a “near-scholarly approach” to its reviews that was uncommon for its scale and genre. Cinefantastique was also popular for its retrospective articles on feature films, which led to special “making-of” double issues that served many readers as reliable sources on film production. After a brief break in early 2007, Cinefantastique was revived in the form of a webzine, Cinefantastique Online , led by Steve Biodrowski, a previous editor for the print magazine. Though the magazine has ceased print production, the webzine still receives occasional new posts.
