Cinefantastique is a horror, fantasy and science fiction film magazine. The magazine was known for its slick paper stock and use of full color interior film stills. It began as a mimeographed fanzine in 1967. In 1970, it became an offset quarterly glossy by Frederick S. Clarke. In 2007, Cinefantastique relaunched as a webzine.
