* Hmm, dunno man. That's quite a bit far fetched; even for a WMG entry...
== The film takes place in the distant past of the ''[[Warhammer 4000040,000]]'' universe ==
As mentioned on the main [[Event Horizon]] page, this is a popular piece of [[Fanon]] and almost too easy to qualify as 'wild' guessing. Everything in the film, from the gothic cathedral design of the ship to the central concept of
[[Hyperspace Is a Scary Place|Hyperspace being hell]] inhabited by demons maps ''exactly'' onto [[Warhammer 40 K,000]]'s use of those
tropes. You could drop it into the continuity without changing a thing.
 
* I am sorry, but WMG is for outrageous guessing. Not the cold hard facts.
 
== The film is a [[Broad Strokes]]-sequel to ''2001: A Space Odyssey'' ==
 
== [[Shout -Out|Where we're]] [[Hyperspace Is a Scary Place|going we]] [[Eye Scream|won't]] [[The Blank|need]] eyes. ==
Prove me wrong.
* Prove what wrong?
* [[Back to The Future|I thought the exact same thing.]]
 
== Weir is a [[Mage: The Awakening (Tabletop Game)|Scelestus]] ==
 
He's being manipulated by an abyssal being. It was him that activated the portal remotely using magic. An abyssal entity is the thing that possessed the Event Horizon. The film takes place in the far future of the ''[[New World of Darkness (Tabletop Game)|New World of Darkness]]''.
 
== Weir is a [[Mage: The Ascension (Tabletop Game)|Nephandus]]. ==
The crew of the Louis and Clark are sleepers, and Weir was orginally a [[Post Modern Magick|Void Engineer]] sent by the [[Ancient Conspiracy|Technocracy]] to check out the Event Horizon after a trip through the Umbra. Unfortunately, the mini-singularity he designed proved to be an inadvertant [[Maximum Fun Chamber|Caul]]. Normal sleepers going through it just get [[Mind Rape|regularly mind raped]]. Weir, going in on the other hand, makes him [[Face Monster Turn|rethink his allegiances somewhat...]]
 
Line 35:
* A nicely plausible theory! Since ghost hunters do, in fact, theorize that strong magnetic/gravitational distortions account for most terrestrial hauntings, it's not too much of a stretch to think the core might have caused that. It perfectly explains why {{spoiler|Miller has visions about leaving behind his crewmen, even though he'd never told anyone else.}} Would have been nice if the film tossed that theory out!
 
== The lost ''Event Horizon'' and ''Lewis and Clark'' crewmen became Reavers. ==
 
{{quote| ''"If they take the ship, they'll rape us to death, eat our flesh, and sew our skins into their clothing - and if we're very very lucky, they'll do it in that order."'' }}
 
* Pretty darned close to what happened on Even Horizon, isn't it? Perhaps the ''Event Horizon'' can travel through time ''and'' space, and spend its missing years on the fringes of ''Firefly's'' known universe...
* Except that the actual explanation for the creation of the Reavers is given in ''[[The Movie|Serenity]]'', and it has nothing to do with crazy hell-dimension portals.
** You hush.
 
== Dr. Weir is a [[Hellraiser (Film)|Cenobite.]] ==
This is actually a pretty widespread assumption. Dr. Weir even becomes a Cenobite for the same reasons others do: deep emotional pain. And the "Hell dimension" features a ton of [[Clive Barker]]-like leather, barbs, and so forth. Weir has the same [[Body Horror]] fascination, too.
** It's my belief that ''Event Horizon'' proves that ''Hellraiser'' and ''Warhammer'' take place in the same universe.
 
== Event Horizon is set in the Star Trek universe. ==
In the [[Star Trek Voyager|Star Trek: Voyager]] episode "Random Thoughts", we get to see all the violent thoughts in Tuvok's mind. Among them are three images from Event Horizon. Either he saw the movie once and it somehow made an impression on him or the events of the movie happened In Universe, one of the survivors got mind melded by a Vulcan doctor at some point after First Contact, and Tuvok mind melded with either that Vulcan doctor or another Vulcan who mind melded with that Vulcan doctor and the images got transferred during the meldings.
** The events in the [[Enterprise]] episode "Impulse" were NOT the result of Trellium-D poisoning. In the logs, the crew of the Vulcan ship went insane in a manner identical to the crew of the [[Event Horizon]]. "Trellium-D poisoning" was merely the story used in the cover-up. Consider your mind blown.
 
Line 54:
Both feature a transport system that transports though hell and in both cases something comes though from the other side.
 
== I'm surprised no one has made any correlations between [[Event Horizon]] and [[In the Mouth of Madness (Film)|In the Mouth of Madness]] ==.
Both are [[Cosmic Horror Story|Cosmic Horror Stories]] which feature a character played by Sam Neill losing his mind at the hands (and spiked tentacles) of an [[Eldritch Abomination]].
* I'm surprised no one has made any correlations between [[Event Horizon]] and [[The Black Hole]]
Line 62:
 
== [[Event Horizon]] is Miller's [[Dying Dream]] / Eternal [[Mind Screw]] / [[Mind Rape]]. ==
Think about it - why else would it end with a [[The End - or Is It?]] ending with his crew.
His greatest fear was something happening to his crew - what would [[Mind Screw]] him most as he lay dying?
The idea that despite his [[Heroic Sacrifice]] that his crew [[Kill 'Em All|NEVER GOT AWAY.]]
 
== The two ships mentioned as missing in the beginning of the film were sent out after the Event Horizon. ==
Line 74:
Hence the weird "iris" effect at the end.
 
== Hyperspace is a huge colony of [[Harry Potter (Literaturenovel)|boggarts]]. ==
It causes you to see your worst traumas and fears, right? So if the crew had all been wizards, they simply would have needed to say "Riddikulus" and it would have changed into something funny (in the case of Weir, for example, it would have changed into a guy in a [[Paper -Thin Disguise]] as his wife.)
 
== That bloody [[Humanoid Abomination|humanoid...]] [[Our Demons Are Different|thing]] from [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZK1debnXYlA the deleted scenes] is [[SCP Foundation|SCP-]][http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-106 106]. ==
