We Don't Need Eyes to See in Episode 280!

Look, I agree green is a weird color to be going through those conduits, but at least it's not RED, and I'm confident it never will be red. I vote we stay.

We have a terrifying entry into the Sci-Fi Shuffle rotation just in time for Halloween - it's 1997's Event Horizon! We don't think it's caused any nightmares among us yet, but then again we haven't woken from hypersleep yet.

The trailer for Event Horizon does really feel more it's teasing a movie like Alien rather than a horror movie. [Charlie, are you trying to argue that Alien is somehow not a horror movie? -Adam]

This episode inspired Kara and Charlie to start a "Sam Neill Scares" mini-movie-marathon for October. So far it's been In the Mouth of Madness and Dead Calm. Both were worth watching, for completely different reasons!

But maybe don't watch In the Light of the Moon (Ed Gein). I mean, what a BORING subject! It certainly didn't show up on Variety's list of Best Horror Movies of All Time, the way Event Horizon did.

Here's a Youtube video of Glen Schofield, creator of Dead Space, talking about (among other things) the influence of Event Horizon.

The Event Horizon TV show is "in the works", so anyone who was in the movie and isn't already busy is bound to show up!
