Using the formalism of quantum field theory in curved spacetimes, we study semiclassical effects in geometries which get close to the formation of an event horizon. These geometries are such that they imprint special features on the quantum vacuum of the fields. Specifically, we will present a series of asymptotically flat, spherically symmetric spacetimes which get close to the formation of a horizon (representing matter which gets close to crossing its Schwarzschild radius), and calculate the values of the renormalized stress-energy tensor for the
