Sands of Time 2

Coils of Time

by P. Schuyler Miller
You’ll need some patience with “Coils of Time," seeing as how it takes the hero, Rutherford Bohr Adams, twenty-some pages before you’ll realize that the story is a sequel to “The Sands of Time,” and it’s going to fall to space pilot Adams to travel through the 60-million-year coils of times into the future and the past, saving Earth from the evil Martians and their zombies, while also saving his own boss’s beautiful daughter from a fate worth than death.

It’s another form of the space-time field that I use in the Egg to bridge the gap between the coils of time.
“Coils of Time” by P. Schuyler Miller, Astounding Science-Fiction, May 1939.

Trancers I

Trancers

by Danny Bilson and Paul De Meo, directed by Charles Band
In the first of six (really!) Trancer movies (plus a “lost” short), heroic trancer-hunter (and newly anointed time cop) Jack Deth follows evil trancer-maker Martin Whistler from 2247 to 1985 via drug-induced time-travel that can take you back only to the body of an ancestor.
— Michael Main
Greetings to the council. As you may have gathered, I have survived the pathetic trap set by Trooper Deth on Mecon 7. For twelve long years, you have hunted my disciples like dogs. Now, my day of vengeance is at hand. I’ve synthesized a time drug, and in a moment shall retreat down the dark corridors of history. Know that it is I who is solely responsible for your demise. One by one, your ancestors shall be murdered, and you, their progeny, shall cease to exist. Then shall I return, join my legion, and claim the seat of power for my own. Adieu . . . adieu . . . 
Trancers by Danny Bilson and Paul De Meo, directed by Charles Band (at movie theaters, UK, 7 November 1984).

Merlin and the Sword

by David Wyles, directed by Clive Donner
When Katherine Davidson falls into an underground ice cave beneath Stonehenge, she finds that Merlin and his lover Niniane have been trapped there for a millennium, whereupon Merlin and Niniane proceed to show Katherine the story of how Morgan le Fay trapped them.

Love cancels all curses, love breaks all spells. Love is a magic greater than any wizard or witch, warlock or shaman.
Merlin and the Sword by David Wyles, directed by Clive Donner (at limited theaters, Davao, Phillipines, 5 January 1985).

My Wife Hates Time Travel

by Adam-Troy Castro
When a not-so-brilliant man and his similarly equipped wife find out that one of them is destined to invent time travel, they end up continuously fighting, not the least cause of which is their future selves popping in all the time, intent on informing them that they should do this and not that.
— Michael Main
Being the future inventors of time travel wasn’t all bad, of course. It was great to know that we’d never lose anything, never go to a movie that turned out to be a stinker, never buy a book we wouldn’t want to finish, never go out to a restaurant where the service was lousy, and never get stuck in a traffic jam, because we’d always be warned away, beforehand. It was terrific to have some future version of myself pop in just as I was about to irritate my wife with some inconsiderate comment and tell me, “It would be a really bad idea to say that.”
“My Wife Hates Time Travel” by Adam-Troy Castro, in Lightspeed, September 2012.

Monster High, Movie #10

Monster High: Freaky Fusion

by Keith Wagner, directed by William Lau
The animated gang of teen monsters travel centuries into the past to the first day ever at Monster High, but when they return they have each merged with another in the group creating freaky hybrid monsters all around. I’m not sure, but I’m betting that Mattel used this DVD release as an opportunity to also sell freaky hybrid fashion dolls.

It’s 1814: They’ve never seen fashion styles like ours before.

Absolutely Anything

by Terry Jones and Gavin Scott, directed by Terry Jones
As a test to determine whether humanity should be destroyed, four slimey aliens grant schoolteacher Neil Clarke the power to do absolutely anything. I kinda think that if I had that power, and I made as many mistakes as Neil, I'd be using my power to rewind time more often than he did.

Writer and director Terry Jones acknowledges H. G. Wells’ “The Man Who Could Work Miracles” as inspiration for the story.
