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?

    Vivarium was true scifi/horror, not the cut and paste dumbed down garbage we mostly get.

    And for The Thing, DON’T watch the “prequel,” if you already haven’t. It’s a beat by beat remake. It’s a “Requel,” a remake posing as a prequel/sequel. I wanted to burn the theater down when I saw it. But knowing that now, watch it, as see what I’m talking about.

      I saw the original John carpenter version at a friends house at ~2am after a rare night out drinking with some old college buddies in town. My friend has a big HD projector and sound system in his house and when everyone heard I’d never seen the thing it was instantly agreed that’s what we are doing later. I had absolutely no idea what to expect and was blown the fuck away!

      Then I got all excited a few weeks ago when I saw the thing was on Netflix so I could see it again. Then I realized it was the recent remake from idk 2012 maybe? Watched five minutes of it and ragequit, then paid $3 to see it on Prime.
