For our second Slasher Summer episode this season, Viddy Well Film Blog’s Aaron Haughton is back to break down our next “Remake That Rocks”: John Carpenter’s seminal 1982 masterpiece The Thing.

Carpenter’s remake of the 1950s sci-fi B-movie The Thing From Another World isn’t just one of the greatest remakes of all time; it’s an awe-inspiring creature feature with next-level practical FX, featuring a story with influences that can be felt in horror and science-fiction to this day. What do we do when we can’t trust the people around us, or even our own bodies? It’s time to Pop That on 1982’s The Thing.
