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?

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

For books, House of leaves by Mark danielewski is a pretty crazy ride into madness.

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.

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.

"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 rather liked The Immortality Thief by Taran Hunt.
