On this week's episode of the Bear Cave of Terror, Hauntcub himself, Mr Jay Yospa is back to talk to us about the scifi/cosmic horror classic, Event Horizon, from director Paul W.S. Anderson.

Coming at an awkward time for home video, right on the cusp before the DVD revolution, the film didn't get

It may not be breaking new ground (or
