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?

A walk in the dark - Arthur C. Clarke

It's a scifi thriller short story. I believe that there is an old radio play available

Always had a soft spot for Impostor (2001) with Gary Sinise based on Philip K Dick's short story. It never is mentioned very much

Die Fabre is cool, I guess. It's a 2010 film adaptation of color out of space.

There's an adaptation of Color Out of Space from a couple of years ago that is deeply creepy. It stars Nick Cage and he's the perfect amount of crazy for what happens to the main character.

I loved The Illuminae Files as a teen, definitely worth a read

I rather liked The Immortality Thief by Taran Hunt.

"High Life" (2018) by Claire Denis was quite interesting. Dark and poignant with a great cast and unique execution

I am a fan of Claire Denis but missed this one. Sounds very interesting.

I enjoyed it but it's not a movie that will leave you feeling good, just a warning 👍

I always wanted to watch a full length feature based on Edmond Hamilton's "Exile", but obviously knowing how it ends would kinda ruin it.
