Saddened by the loss of Drew Struzan, whose iconic poster art defined cinema. Honoured to have spoken with him about his #EscapeFromNewYork works for my book, ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK: The Official Story of the Film. #RIPDrewStruzan @titanbooks.bsky.social @StudiocanalUK #SnakePlissken #JohnCarpenter

Cannot imagine how stressful The Descent was on the big screen! Even knowing what's coming, that film always manages to tap into deep existential fears. Definitely a once a year watch at most for my poor nervous system!

People watching #JohnCarpenter's #TheThing for the first time: "Why are they shooting at that dog? They'd better not hurt that dog. Poor puppy!"

On second viewing: "Kill it! Kill it! Aim better you mother f*****!"

As they say in The Music Man, singing is just sustained talking! You're definitely onto something!

Love how the horror genre can both entertain and educate while simultaneously scaring us silly.

Watching #TheThing on the big screen with #JohnCarpenter and #MutantFam was one of our favorite movie-going experiences of all time.

What would your desert island (or Antarctic research station) horror movies be?

In this week's episode, we dive deeper into #thething. We share a new demo, and of course answer the age-old question: if we were each assigned to a research station in #Antarctica, what would we bring?

Bottin worked so hard he ended up in the hospital...he and his team's dedication are a huge part of the film's eventual success!

Rachel is referencing Steven Soderbergh's Presence (2024), a good rec for someone who isn't actually into #horror but might be curious. What other movies would you say are on the #horrorborder?
