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?

Sphere from Micheal Crichton. Both the movie and the book are pretty good.

It is more sci-fi than anything else, but i think it fits the thriller category as well. Without going into spoilers, it is a story about scientists being deep down in the ocean, and strange things happening.

Sphere was my favorite book in high school. I didn't like the movie so much, but it might have been that I was already too hyped for it when it came out. I should probably watch it again.

I was so hyped, a book I loved and that cast. The result was so underwhelming.
