What are some of your favorite smaller Sci-Fi Horror/psychological thriller stories/films? - eviltoast

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?

    Fantastic Planet is one of my all time favorite movies and I think it ages dreadfully well.

      Agreed. I did a rewatch before I posted it to the @13thFloor and I was amazed (hadn’t seen it since I was a kid). Some of the most intriguing and beautiful surrealistic animation ever, and the story is remarkably good - generating a sort of slow clinical terror in the viewer that flows and builds beneath the bright alien landscapes.

        The expressions of the humans really struck me as a kid, I could feel their terror (and anger) without really understanding the whole thing. Side-related but I’ve the 13thfloor tab opened for a few days and I haven’t explored it yet. Guess I should do that now :)
