The Thing is my default answer when someone brings up the question of which is better, practical or CGI. You'll be hard pressed to find a better example and demonstration of practical effects than The Thing. Rob Bottin went to the hospital for those effects, and that passion shows.

[@cyril-rr2jk]

Both practical and CG have their place. The problem is when they rely too much on one or the other. While the technical limitations of the time date it a bit, I think the first Hellboy is a good example of a balanced approach.

I didn't even know DOUBLE pneumonia was even a thing until I heard that Bottin got it. He didn't take a day off for an entire year and both lived and breathed the movie. Stan Winston of Aliens fame demanded only a thank you for his work on the film and made sure Bottin got all of the credit.

That’s what you got from that movie? Here’s what I got when I watched it. That the devil is a intoxicating force that no one can control.

[@charthers8903]

Cold rainy winter night and a John Carpenter movie, perfect formula..

[@YankeePendragon]

Thanks for the well-thought-through analysis of these films. I confess my own thoughts about them have been on the superficial similarities: an isolated group of people who are forced to combat an enemy that is neither human nor indeed comprehensible to the human mind, but which presents a terminal threat to humanity as a whole, the conflict not ending on clear note or victory for humanity but with the unspoken implication that their efforts were in vain. One can equally argue that in each instance humanity succeeded: MacReady and Childes letting themselves die in the Antarctic winter ensures the alien - if its either of them - will be left there; Marsh's 'dream' is, like all the others seen throughout the film, a warning from the future and thus can still be acted upon and prevented (plus why is there the automatic assumption that Danforth is possessed by the anti-god, when its spawn is in the other dimension with it?); and if Trent is indeed nothing but the creation of the author Cane, why should we conclude what he's seeing and experiencing are "real" and not simply the written conclusion of Cane's own writing? FYI: British author Alan Moore wrote a 12-issue limited series in 2018 title "Providence" that postulated that while HP Lovecraft was writing nothing but fiction, the concepts and monstrous entities he used were in fact real (in a pan-dimensional sense) and the nearly century's worth of reprints, criticism, adaptations, and spin-offs of it have given said monstrous entities purchase on humanity's collective unconscious. This in turn increasingly gives them an avenue into our reality, which naturally results in an apocalypse for humanity in general. Wonder if Moore was cribbing off the Apolcalypse Trilogy's general theme there, eh?

[@michaelbarnes2617]

The Thing is so good I saw it the other day kept me in suspense. Now I wanna see the other two!!!!!!!

[@johnanderson5500]

This trilogy was absolutely the best hands down for any horror movie fan!! In fact the movie in the mouth of madness was so scary that I had nightmares for years as a kid and was afraid of the movie until i was a teenager. But even now watching these movies, if you kick back and relax and put yourself in the place of the main character in each movie it will terrify you! Plus if you smoke a joint or take a lot of cold medicine it makes it so real you swear it's happening right in front of your eyes! I tripped a couple times to movies like these and I honestly don't know what could happen anymore.

Carpenter is one of my all-time favorite directors and these are three of my favorite films. Before the pandemic hit, for the Halloween season I got my local non-profit theatre to show some Carpenter films three years in a row. In 2019 they showed the most, and The Thing was one of those. Not one person uttered a single audible word throughout the entire film. It was special. They also showed The Fog that Halloween. A friend and I dressed up as seaweed-clad ghost pirates. It was a lot of fun. For my roomie's birthday, they played Big Trouble in Little China at my request because they're cool like that and it's one of his favorite movies (and mine- I just love all things Carpenter lol).

[@madamvaudelune3298]

Prince of Darkness deserves a remake. It was intensely atmospheric and just had a nightmare vibe to it that would be difficult tp equal. I'll be the first to admit that aside from Donald Pleasence none of the actors were memorable. There was NO character developement and sadly because they were so one-dimensional you didn't really care what happened to them. And the cheesy moustaches didn't help. But the premise was so damn unsettling. A reliquiery hundreds-if not a thousand- years old, containing an indestructible plasmic medium unknown to science that is the portal to hell? Or an unknown dimension even worse?? This incredibly perverse and terrifying premise needs an updated look but a faithful ressurection.

I remember some sci-fi groups made discussions about how and when Blair got infected by The Thing but I've often wonder why Clark never was since its basically proven that one cell from The Thing will cause assimilation. Granted a slow one compared to some of the others but it would still be assimilation. Clark petted the Dog-Thing with his bare hands when it first showed up and the blood test tells that every individual piece of the Thing can and will be it's own entity so the odds of Clark getting dog hair on him from the Dog-Thing and later being infected are too good to honestly ignore.

In the ending of "The Thing" the narrator said that MacReady & Childs each took a shot of their whisky, which isn't correct.
