I can't believe I forgot that one.
On and for reference for those that may not know the book - Hollow Man is about a telepath who can't shut it off, and starts losing his personality to all the stuff he picks up from surrounding minds.

Sounds like a good one for mental adaptive disadvantage from Ultimate Mentalist. Also updated the list. Just for everyone's reference I am not adding any entry that is in The Ultimate Mentalist.
Ps. Unless it is only listed as one catergory and it fits under the other catergories.

Thank Steven, Bob and theUnknown. Scanners is listed in the Ultimate Metamorph and thus not included. Though I am thinking of adding what is in the book to make this list complete.

Don't how I missed it either. Also added the Tomorrow People which in certain way seem inspired by Indigo Children....

I have added Prayer Beads due to Bead 6 and 7. There is some good episode and some bad in this Japanese Horror TV Anthology. I recommend renting it if you do love J-Horror but only buy it if you are a fanatic like me.
yamamura
Jun 16th, '08, 09:02 AM
Added Nightmare Detective. It contains both telepathy and psychic dreamscape entering.
Susano

Okay a general question here, after talking to Tim tonight in CoH/CoV, it was suggested that I add a video game section to the bibliography. I think it is a swell idea. What do all you think?
Susano
Jun 16th, '08, 05:44 PM
Sure.
yamamura
Jun 16th, '08, 06:01 PM
By the way can anyone confirm that The Happening also has psychic powers in it?
yamamura
Jun 17th, '08, 09:34 AM

OK. I don't have the book with me at work, but one of my favorite Psi-inspired movies from the 80s hass recently been rereleased on DVD : The Sender.
Hopefully my memory of the film doesn't put me to shame when I play it for my wife...
Susano
Jun 20th, '08, 07:54 AM
The series War Against the Chtorr has [cybernetic] telepathy.
yamamura
Jan 21st, '09, 10:52 AM
Added Push as this movie looks like it will contain psionics by cart loads! Also added entries from Susano and Shigeru!

PK Dick (his initials are PK, for goodness sakes) The Game Players of Titan (Telepathy and Mental Illusions, Teleportation)
We Can Remember It For You Wholesale (Telepathy)
Peter F Hamilton, The MindStar/Gregg Mandell books and, actually, quite a lot of his Confederation stuff (Night's Dawn Trilogy) too has a variation of telepathy in it.
I know there's lots more...

Nobody's mentioned The X-Files yet. It's mostly monster-of-the-week, but a few episodes featured psychic abilities.

Books
Julian May
the Pliocene Exile series
Don't have TUM, so I don't know if it was skipped because it's already listed in the book, but May's Galactic Milieu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galactic_Milieu_Series) Series is, if possible, even more psi-oriented than her Pliocene Exile series
yamamura
Jan 25th, '09, 07:17 AM
The X-files is listed in the Book and so haven't been added to this list. Actually I am thinking that the Pliocene Exile may be listed in the book as just the Exile series. In which case I will remove that entry and add Galactic Milieu.
