The Thing (1982)

Posted on September 28, 2021 by Jon Watches Movies

Director: John Carpenter Writer: Bill Lancaster (Based on the short story “Who Goes There?” by John W. Campbell Jr.) Doing a Carpenter re-watch. One of my favorite filmmakers. The Thing is possibly my favorite horror movie of all time. Perfect.
