Here is an open thread for any Halloween stories/videos you'd like to post.

In a non-political vein, I always liked “Comes The Inquisitor” (Babylon 5). It’s “spooky” enough anyway, plus the writer throws a couple hints in... and at the end the viewer learns who the Inquisitor” actually is. The “look” in the Inquisitor’s eyes as he confirms Capt. Sheridan’s suspicion chills me every time...

John W. Campbell “The Thing”. (Original story, not the movie.)

Also, the Star Trek Next Generation episode where alien beings are growing inside various officer’s bodies (to take over Starfleet), and then Riker and Picard have to kill one of their own superiors at the end, was VERY graphic for the time. It also leaves the viewer wondering how much of Star Fleet is infected - a story that was never followed up, for some reason...

These are not horror stories per se, just good Sci-Fi with a spooky slant.

Actually, the original story by Campbell was named “Who Goes There?”

You are correct! Brain “short” on my part!
