60 Nights of Fright continues in Episode 353 of JayMovieTalk. I'm delving into John Carpenter's career and one of his greatest achievements, The Thing (1982). From Halloween to Escape from New York, Carpenter redefined genre filmmaking, and The Thing remains his ultimate statement on paranoia, isolation, and survival.
In this episode:
*Why The Thing is the perfect blend of tension, terror, and practical effects
*Rob Bottin's groundbreaking creature design vs modern CGI
*Carpenter's music and Morricone's chilling score.
*Side topics: isolation horror as a subgenre, practical effects masterclass, and how Carpenter's trademarks influenced an entire generation.
Available now, join me as I break down the film that helped cement Carpenter as the Master of Horror.
