Gordon and Magnus don their parkas and ready their flamethrowers as they dive into the terrifying isolation and paranoia of John W Campbell’s Who Goes There? and the sci-fi/horror cinematic adaptation (or should we say, imitation?) The Thing (1982) by John Carpenter. Primarily known as the colossus of Sci-Fi publishing that brought Speculative Fiction out of the pulp era and mentored some of the great writers of the 20th century, Campbell blends paranoia, isolation, and eldritch terror into a powerful tale of man against… Thing.
Carpenter’s 1982 Sci-Fi Horror classic masterfully adapts the story for the silver screen, and combines tight pacing, effortless characterization, and an ensemble cast with Carpenter’s signature cinematography, an Ennio Morricone score, and some of the best practical effects of all time.
