Original Patreon Description:
It's hard to argue with a confident man - so when Kron Howard says Assault on Precinct 13 is "the best almost-horror movie ever made", you better believe him!
We're breaking down exactly why that's the case, including the modernization of the Hawksian archetypes, the awesome practical effects, and the creation of a genre all John Carpenter's own. So grab your vanilla twist ice cream cone and strap in, because this is a fun one... i'll tell it to ya sometime! FROM THE CORRECTIONS DEPARTMENT: While Stan Winston did do the kennel scene giant dog/thing monster, Rob Bottin was the primary effects man on The Thing. My apologies for the disrespect, Rob.
