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?

I watched Circle on Netflix a long time ago (not to be confused with Tom Hanks movie), minimalistic but captivating. A Man from Earth is really deep although even more minimalistic

A walk in the dark - Arthur C. Clarke

It's a scifi thriller short story. I believe that there is an old radio play available

What does smaller mean in this context because most replies here are anything but in my opinion. Aliens? Small?

Always had a soft spot for Impostor (2001) with Gary Sinise based on Philip K Dick's short story. It never is mentioned very much

For books, House of leaves by Mark danielewski is a pretty crazy ride into madness.

I always wanted to watch a full length feature based on Edmond Hamilton's "Exile", but obviously knowing how it ends would kinda ruin it.

I loved The Illuminae Files as a teen, definitely worth a read
