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?

Annihilation, if you can ignore the framing device.

I don’t remember much about the plot but that fucking bear omg.

I think about the bear all the time. One of the few examples of a monster surpassing what I could imagine.

The book is pretty great (imo.)

It also explores the Shimmer more and it’s fascinating.

I liked the plot, but regardless, I would say Annihilation has some of the most horrifically beautiful sci-fi imagaries on screen.
