Cinefantastique is a horror, fantasy, and science fiction film magazine originally started as a mimeographed fanzine in 1967, then relaunched as a glossy, offset quarterly in 1970 by publisher/ editor Frederick S.

Cinefantastiques articles and reviews emphasized an intelligent, near-scholarly approach, a then-unusual slant for such a genre-specific magazine. ...more on Wikipedia about "Cinefantastique"

The Orff are a fictional alien species in K. A. Applegate's young adult book series, Animorphs. They are described as being vaguely humanoid, with three quick legs and a long flexible neck ending in a single large internally lit eye (and it is assumed from their spoken dialogue, a mouth of some sort as well.) The pupils of their eyes float freely about their eyes instead of being fixed in the middle. Their skin is almost completely transluscent so that their vital organs can be seen by anyone looking at them. Jake guesses that the visible organs are decoys to draw attention away from the actual vital organs which are transluscent. This invisibility allows them to go completely unseen in the dark by dimming the light that emits from their eyes. ...more on Wikipedia about "Orff (Animorphs)"
