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?

Hope you like it! Now that I've talked about it I feel an itch for a double bill this weekend haha!

Just found a copy and the cover/synopsis unlocked some dim memories. I love rediscovering something I saw a bit of on TV when I was a kid but never got to finish, thank you :-)

That was it! Awesome :-)

I didn’t remember the whole plot but I definitely remember the cobra-man.

David Patrick Kelly’s character was bugging me right up until the end… such great monologues, his voice is so creepy.

Lolll so great, glad you had fun :) Corba-Man was nightmare fuel for a while when I was a kid. DPK's face was already seared into my brain from The Warriors, I was so afraid of him!
