The pending prequel,”The Thing 2011″ is coming. It will be released October 14th, 2011. This made me want to focus this week on John Carpenter’s The Thing. John Carpenter’s The Thing was released in 1982. It was loosely based on The Thing From Another World which was released in 1951. From the trailer of the new The Thing 2011, they are...
Best Horror Movie List?
Does this match your list of best horror movies? As Halloween approaches, I thought that instead of focusing on one film on Classic Corner, why not post this horror movie list.
