Tenebrae Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I was just a wondering... Sci-fi and horror do often walk hand in hand but just what is the scariest or most atmospheric science fiction type horror of them all and no, this is not the bland "if there is a snake larger that 3 feet long IT IS SCI-FI". Stuff that is in your opinion science-fiction and has a horror element. It can be of any description - TV, film, book, comic, short story, play etc. I'll make it a little harder by eliminating: Alien. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbbb Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 How about Event Horizon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Posted February 2, 2006 Author Share Posted February 2, 2006 Yeah, Event Horizon was another one. Some people seem to write it off but it had Sam Neill in and he's ACE. It went a bit nuts at the end but before that they really managed to get some good tension - and it's Morpheus pre-flub! Definitely had its creepy moments. I'd have thought the obvious other choice was Star Trek: First Contact - it wasn't very consistent but it did manage some good periods of tension.

mateya Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 yes, first I thouhgt about Event Horizon and then realized that without Alien (first movie) I have to think really hard to pull up some sci-fi horror into memory. here are my 2 favorites: - Cube, Natali 1997, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0123755/ - The Thing, Carpenter 1982, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084787/ I highly recommend both of them, one of the best in sci-fi horror genre imho.

Mav Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Well plenty of sci fi movies have had some thrills in them. I think the harder part to nail is scariest sci fi tv show. I'd say it's a tie between X-Files and Millenium. Yea I found X-Files scary, mainly cause most of the "creepy" episodes were ones that were really phobic ones for me. Like some of the cheesey alien effects, I've never liked the whole "bug eyed" aliens cool, they give me the freaky shiver-down-the-spine spooks. Even Thor from SG-1 kinda spooks me out some from time to time. Millenium, cause well, I was young. I got into X-files when I was real young, like 14 maybe 15. Loved it, other than TNG it was one of my first real sci fi shows. So Millienium was made by the same guy who did X-Files (I forget his name), and it was highly recommended to me by some fellow fans. Most of the stories were a tad, dark, for a 14 year old kid to watch. I watched like two episodes and then stopped it was just freaky.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizzyg Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 hellraiser 1 and 2 ... watched those when i was a kid and pooped myself. haha http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093177/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095294/ was that sci fi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Posted February 3, 2006 Author Share Posted February 3, 2006 No - not really. It's fantasy/horror. Yes - the X-files definitely managed some creepy episodes - Toombs springs to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyran Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 how about THE BLOB starring steve mcqueen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Posted February 3, 2006 Author Share Posted February 3, 2006 Hahaha, the original was ok but pretty campy. The 1980s remake was suitably more gruesome though and a trifle more chilling though. AvP was pretty damned scary - that that two such great franchises could meet and be so tired, weak and horrible is quite terrfiying ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilander72 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 First sci-fi/horror I saw when I was a kid was The Thing. I had nightmares about the thing for weeks and still suffer from that trauma. :cyclops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S0V13T Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 All the movies that immediatelly came to mind are all already taken. So I'm gonna say "Lawnmower Man" just for the hallibut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlaC Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 The Thing Event Horizon Maybe Sphere... Although it wasnt really scary, but still good.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Posted February 3, 2006 Author Share Posted February 3, 2006 I remember as a child the two sci-fi things that scared me. 1. Quantum Leap - The Egyptian Mummy episode. I couldn't sleep for a week after that... although watching it alone at night in my room with the lights off probably didn't help. 2. Superman III - when the woman got robotised, I was rather scared.
