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?

The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury is a book of short stories that are great. I really like the rain and he has a story called The Long Rain which I read a lot. He has a few in there that are actually really spooky though.

The Marionette's Inc was just taken and adapted into a loosely based episode in the last season of Black Mirror (Beyond The Sea)! They're very very different, but it's the same concept applied differently and the book itself shows up in the episode.
