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 see no mention of Solaris

Very psychological movie

Yeees! I like it a loot too. But my favorite of Tarkovsky is Stalker. Such beautiful scenes!!

If you liked the unknowable, unfathomable alien trope, check out his book "His Master's Voice." It's great, too. Stanislaw Lem, that is.

Ma I've really tried hard but I can't stand Tarkovsky, i understand his vision but somehow doesn't fit with my taste and I feel a bit guilty about it.
