John Carpenter

"Everyone's entitled to one good scare." RIP, Sheriff Brackett.

Forty-two years after The Thing flopped, Carpenter is getting the recognition he so richly deserves.

John Carpenter knows who was really the Thing at the end of the movie... but more than four decades later, he's still not telling. 

The 2002 classic is finally thawing out after all these years!

Here's a little hint: the scene involves blood, Petri dishes, and super-heated wire.

It may be cold, but it's still the ideal climate for a screening of The Thing.

Return of the Thing would have tapped into the "ghosts of the Cold War."

Before he was a horror master, John Carpenter made a '70s action gem.

His dislike of ostentatious headwear outweighed his dislike of an alien assimilating all of humanity.

"Why don't we just wait here for a little while... see what happens."
