Fun fact about Event Horizon I love: It was written as if it was in the WH40K universe. The ship is basicslly the first human vessel to travel through The Immaterium and get infested with space ghosts. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

In reality, they likely inspired each other.

When Event Horizon came out, Games Workshop was still a somewhat niche hobby that few people had heard of, they were still developing lore.

I imagine the writers saw some ideas about the "dangers of the warp" and decided to incorporate those ideas, then games workshop saw the movie and was like "Hell yeah, that's what we're talking about, lets lean into this warp shit even harder."

Tremble before the majesty of the Emperor, for we all walk in his immortal shadow.
