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?

    Moon - really good psychological element and great acting.

    Pandorum - fun (and a bit hammy) action horror romp.

    Twelve Monkeys - really tight and suspenseful plot with great acting.

    Being John Malcovich - not sure if this fits in, but a great mind-bender of a sci-fi movie.

      Man, Moon is such a good movie. Sam Rockwell absolutely killed it which I was quite impressed by considering the last thing I saw him in was as Zaphod Beeblebrox in Hitchhikers. Quite a different set of acting chops he exercised.

      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.
