The Dukes cinema in Lancaster hosts a special season of sci-fi and fantasy films over coming weeks.
The venue is taking part in a UK-wide celebration of science fiction and the season kicks off on November 7 with The Terminator (15) which remains as thrilling and chilling as when it first released 30 years ago.
