The Thing (1982) update feed
" Notes: The whole thing started out with a very typical ominous score which, for once, was not written by John Carpenter but by the great Ennio Morricone. From there, it became a chilling horror flick with some rather gruesome special effects. Even though it was actually never really scary, there was still loads of tension since you never know for sure, except for MacReady, who could be infected or not.

"October 3: Over the course of the last year, this movie has really grown on me. I went to being indifferent about it to it ranking as one of my favorite horror movies of all time, with its theme being one of the creepiest horror themes I've ever heard. The characters are likeable, the dialogue is witty, and the "Thing" was very well-designed to be frightening and nightmare-inducing.
