If The Incredible Shrinking Man hit the spot, these will too

Both are Jack Arnold's work, and they rhyme
The difference: Lighter on dream logic

The same two preoccupations: surrealism, and black and white
The difference: 20 years apart, and the 1970s show

One thread runs through both: black and white

The same mix in both: ideas, then dread
The difference: Played as drama first

Science fiction with a pulse of unease, in both cases

Dreamlike horror, and it commits to that
The difference: Made in the 1980s, in a different era of the craft

Adventure built on ideas, twice over

Both lean on dread more than on science fiction

Unsettling horror in both cases
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

Epic adventure in both cases

Science fiction built on ideas, twice over

Horror with a pulse of dread, in both cases
