Useful archetype genre/performance references:

monster/horror out there

horror- extra terrestrial

Future dystopia

action sci-fi/fantasy

survival-horror

Mad scientist

Post apocalyptic-end of world

Fantasy

Time Travel -an over-used device that rarely makes much sense but has been put to good use in a few projects, including: “The Time Machine” and “Back to the Future.” More recently I’ve really enjoyed “Primer” and “Looper.”

Supernatural -begins for me with Poe and continues up through “The Exorcist” and more recently “The Ring.” The idea of science vs. the supernatural that you see in a movie like “Poltergeist” really started with the writings of Richard Matheson.
