MechaDragon's celebration of Halloween Month 2020 continues with an in-depth discussion of THE THING, John Carpenter's 1982 horror masterpiece. Horror aficionado and podcaster Megan Salinas returns with film critic and writer Eric Hanson to discuss the film with Will and Jes. We start with our standard but brief non-spoilery review before moving into a more in-depth and spoiler-filled conversation about the movie.
Topics include:
- leveraging the ensemble size for added tension
- masterful use of ambiguity: what, how, and why
- the film's legendary practical effects
- Lovecraftian imagery
- use of pacing, suspense, and character
- Ennio Morricone's score
- creating tension and suspense through what's shown on screen and what isn't
- much more
