I thought you were asking about tides.

An event horizon is just a region where once you've entered it, you 
can't go back to the other side.  I was only talking about event 
horizons around black holes; whether any of these things apply to event 
horizons more generally depends entirely on what sort of horizon you're 
talking about.
