"I hear funny things out here… funny things…"
Bring your long johns, pack the J&B Scotch, make sure the flamethrowers are working, and don't trust anybody. We're taking the chopper to Outpost 31.
This week Midnight Cinema is the warmest place to hide as Art and Erik trek to Antarctica for The Thing — John Carpenter's snow-bound masterpiece of paranoia, goo, and existential dread.
Released in 1982 to tepid reviews and skimpy box office, The Thing was unfairly dismissed on arrival. But it over the decades it has clawed its way to being considered one of the greatest science-fiction horror films ever made. A masterclass in tension, mistrust, and some of the most jaw-dropping practical effects ever committed to film.
We're digging into:
From blood tests to chest-biting defibrillators, kennel chaos to the bleakest final stare-down in horror history, we're breaking it all down for you!
And remember: nobody's safe not even the dog.
If you survive the cold without getting assimilated, torched, or quietly replaced by an alien imitation, come thaw out with us for more late-night deep dives into cult classics, horror favorites, and beautifully unhinged cinema at midnightcinemapod.com
Be sure to follow and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen! We're human! We swear!
And come hang with us on Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube for clips, chaos, behind-the-scenes shenanigans, and the occasional uneasy feeling that someone in the room isn't who they say they are.
