On this day in 1982, John Carpenter’s critically reviled but insanely popular sci-fi horror, The Thing, was released in cinemas. With gooey practical effects, strong violence and tension, and with critics despising it, the classic was an easy target to brand as a video nasty!

June 25 1982 was the premiere of The Thing.
I love John Carpenter's remake of this arctic paranoid story, which critics trashed in 1982, saying the special effects overwhelm the story. Such fools. This is a paranoia classic that gets better with each viewing; the alien is nasty!

Il y a 40 ans, le public US découvrait le classique absolu de John Carpenter, The Thing.
Derrière le survival horrifique d'une maîtrise totale, Carpenter signait une œuvre désespérée sur la fin de l'humanité dont le nihilisme sans concessions demeure toujours aussi marquant.

40 años de THE THING, la obra maestra de John Carpenter, sobre un grupo de científicos encerrados en la Antártida con un alien lovecraftiano. Considerada por muchos la mejor película de terror de la historia por su manejo de la paranoia y los imbatibles FX prácticos de Rob Bottin

A masterpiece. 👌🏽 John Carpenter's best film. His Citizen Kane.

made his film debut at the age of 11 in the film, “It Happened at the World's Fair”. He later went on to play him in & also provided his voice in “Forrest Gump”. Kurt put on blue suede shoes again for “3000 Miles To Graceland”.

Meet a bee which is native to this part of the world, ranging from the eastern US up into Canada: a female Eastern Carpenter bee (Xylocopa virginica). Similar in size and colour to bumblebees, their shiny (not fuzzy) metallic black abdomens give them away.

I love Fright Night. Saw it in 1985 in the theaters when I was 16. I have a lot of favorite Vamp films too! I adore Bram Stoker's Dracula. Also, Interview with the Vampire, The Lost Boys, the Fright Night remake, John Carpenter's Vampires and a bunch of the Hammer Drac movies.

Found a soft and sinister rendition of Carpenter’s “Close to You” and I’ve just been playing it on loop while painting BWX gently coaxing Xie Lian into the dark side

Experimenting with bwx appearance, was very inspired by the creepy servants in mirrormask
