Alien/Aliens is a given for most people. I have been watching Event Horizon during the spooky season for years. What are some of your favorite books and movies with a horror/psychological thriller lean?

Pandorum was a damn good film, a little goofy sure, but a really interesting idea based around what would happen if someone in that situation really did go off the rails and turn a colony ship into their own personal fantasy/hell for everyone else.

Yeah I watched it several times and it's so cheesy and silly but also... yeah people huddling up to the nuclear reactors for warmth seems about the way that would go looking at human activity today

I mean it's a fusion plant, it's not radioactive like the uranium fission we use today. They mutated because of the drug they were given in stasis.

I love that Shepard from flight team 3 is played by a somewhat before he got big Norman Reedus.
