Ep 24: The Thing (1982) - #29 Top Horror

John Carpenter! The man, the myth, the legend behind some of the most iconic horrors of all-time. Does Carpenter have beef with Ridley Scott? Would this film have changed his career had it been successful in the box office? Is it a knock-off Alien? Does it have the best practical effects of any horror film to date? Why is it such a cult-classic today? 

Dive in as we unpack all of these questions and even more wild behind-the-scenes of Carpenter's 1982 alien horror, seemingly coincidentally released the same day as Scott's Blade Runner (1982).
