The Land of Horror can be a terrifying place to spend some time in. Would you really want to be trapped in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre house? Or spend a night at the Bates Motel? Of course, you would!
You’d also like to take a ride on the Millennium Falcon or explore the planet of Pandora. Science Fiction can also be dangerous, deadly and wondrous place to explore.
In the spirit of exploration the Kali Krew Presents to you the worlds and places we’d love to explore in horror and science fiction.
Oasis from Ready Player One
“I hated the book but the idea is cool” – Lilyn
The TV World from Persona 4
“As terrifying as I find the very concept of Persona 4 the TV World itself would be fascinating to explore” – Gracie
Rapture from Bioshock
“Rapture in Bioshock seems neat as long as I were to go there before the Bioshock” – Shawn
The Post-Apocalyptic World of Cradle and Grave by Anya Ow
“It could be fascinating and terrifying to see the world of Cradle and Grave. Yes, it’s a post-apocalyptic Earth, but it’s unrecognizable as such. Intellectual curiosity would be the reason – I wouldn’t want to stay long and be killed by one of the creatures in the Scab.” – Eliza
Kingdom
“If I could visit before the outbreak, I would love to see the land Kingdom is set in. I love history and culture and it is a fascinating point in Korean history. Plus, I’ve never been to Korea.” – Eliza
Where You End Up from Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire
“Because it always seems to be the right place” – Bill
The World at the End of Wanderers by Chuck Wendig
“The world at the end of “Wanderers” because then I’d know that’s one apocalypse that I survived. (I can bring my family right?)” – Bill
The Future from Eve of Extinction
“It’s cool. Big sci-fi place with lazer sword fights. Less Jedi swords and more light saber batons” – Tiny Tentacle
The World of Red Rising by Pierce Brown
“The world of Red Rising. It’d be terrifying but the science fantasy aesthetic is cool” – Cory
The World of Valerian by Pierre Christin
“It’s a bit of a stand-in for the SF genre, any number of worlds would have the same effect, but it would be great to explore a space epic/science fiction world with lifeforms and technologies so different from our own.” – Brian
Big Trouble in Little China
“Who wouldn’t want to live in a world where gods, monsters, and 1000-year-old forces square off in a back alley gang fight.” – Brian
Samurai Jack
“A world that is simultaneously super advance and so retro they still have dragons and Vikings” – JB Rockwell
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
“Dammit, I want that tiny elephant under glass!” – JB Rockwell
The Book of Flora by Meg Elison
“Honestly I just want to explore wherever the midwife goes in The Book of the Unnamed Midwife and then to follow Etta in The Book of Etta as well as The Book of Flora. I think I’d end up in the bay because of the inclusive environment and the ever-changing landscape” – Tracy
