from Cult Macabre · host Cult Macabre

On this week's episode we are talking about John Carpenter's The Thing, starring Kurt Russell. Released in 1982, this sci-fi horror film centers on a team of researchers in Antarctica who encounter an extraterrestrial life-form that is capable of assimilating then imitating other organisms. This leads to the group experiencing mass paranoia and conflict as they learn that they can no longer trust each other and that any of them could be the eponymous "Thing."
