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 Andromeda Strain small enough? I love both the story and the movie. The combination of high stakes and routinously slow and boring procedures to scientifically-like contain\eradicate the unknown virus is hypnotyzing.

A fantastic movie if you’re talking about the 1971 original. Avoid the 2008 remake.

I didn't know there is a remake, and now I don't know about it as well.

Personally I liked the new one better, so I guess ymmv.

There's a remake? Thanks for the warning.
