A seven minute intro by legendary horror director John Carpenter to his seminal movie The Thing (1982).

I produced, directed, and edited this for the 7th Annual Fantastic Films Weekend at the National Media Museum, Bradford, West Yorkshire.

  • @Fitopito66 Because, just like with Blade Runner also made in 1982, the viewer has to figure out what is really going on. The Thing is a cerebral movie. Most people who go to see movies do not want think. They are stupid.

  • clap clap clap clap clap......, Thank you for this movie mister John Carpenter sir!

    Still my favorite sci-fi horror movie, it's timeless.

  • @gdwme

    Fans of the 1951 movie back then were disgusted by this remake and probably went to see ET Instead

  • @codebreaker2001

    Both should have been released in April instead of june

  • @fyfytj

    bad timing

  • @jbdream3

    Not a remake, it's a prequel. Do you think remakes work when they hire experienced directors?

  • this is an excellent interview and introduction, themikejustice, but i think you should have worked on the lighting on carpenter.. it seems a bit blown out.

  • "hope you enjoy it" LOL, I enjoyed it since the first day I saw it in 82 JC, I was 14 back then, and is still to today the most FAKING gruesome horror movie of all time if you ask me.

  • @Fitopito66 It's like Blade Runner in that it took a rather long time for people to 'catch up' and realize just how amazing it was. Oh well...Good food takes time. :)

  • Poor John, that he got skin cancer from shooting the movie. :(
