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?

Society (1989 film) has some amazing 80s body horror practical effects by Screaming Mad George (Joji Tani), who also worked on Predator and some of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies. And a general hatred of the rich, which is always nice.

For horror books, my favorite that I've read recently were The Twisted Ones and A House With Good Bones, both by T. Kingfisher.
