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?

Is it spooky I won’t be able to sleep at night type of scary? It looks really interesting but I’m really not a fan of horror.

It's very atmospheric. There is a "story mode" difficulty setting that disables all the monster encounters, leaving only scripted scares, the soundscape, and the plot.

On the wishlist it goes! Thanks for the fantastic recommendation.
