So I wasn't too happy with 'Dare To Live' (which, notably, is not on here anymore for those reasons), and I've been meaning to do a vid to The Thing with this song for a LONG TIME. I wanted to at least see if Dare to Live could be made to work in spite of blatant flaws before I did this one, however-- largely because it's hard to go wrong with this track + the footage.

In the end, I'm WAY happier with this one, and the tone/atmosphere of the track fits a little too well. Considering it opens with a sample from another Carpenter film, besides... yeah, it was a little too easy to put two and two together.

Music by Front Line Assembly off of the album HardWired.

  • Excellent Job!

    Mortal often reminded me of The Thing as well.

    Really, Very well done. Thank you.

  • Belated thanks!

  • The samples in the beginning of the song, coincidently, are from another Carpenter film, In The Mouth Of Madness.

  • I know! I'm pretty sure I mentioned it in the desc but I don't think I mentioned which one, so this works out anyway. :3

  • The Thing has to be one of my favorite horror movies of all time.

    Confusion and speculation are fantastic scare elements. That combined with being isolated in the cold with only a handful of others is just great horror material.

    Great vid!

  • I appreciate it! I really wanted to make something that fit the footage and overall atmosphere of the film and I'm glad other people have enjoyed it so far o/'

see all

  • Man, you totally nailed the editing on this. It's so good that at this point neither the song or the video can stand apart from one another in my mind going forward. Outstanding.

  • This would be great on the Thing Prequel Soundtrack, just as long as it's not being played by someone in the film, since it takes place in '82. XS

  • Does anyone have a link to The Thing Music video done to Deftone's Change/The House Of Flies? It won't show up on search. :(

  • looks like you got the wrong John Carpenter movie

  • Very nice. Now at least I know how the name of that song, I played myself. (in video responses)

  • Very very very good job!!!

    Excellent mixing!!!! 10/10 !!

  • life after death... great song!

  • COOOOOOOL!

    The thing = AWESOME, PERIOD.

    FLA = BEST EVER, AWESOME, PERIOD!
