I've been asking that since "Escape From L.A.". I had a friend who used to say "He thought the world was flat, so he fell off." “What happened to John Carpenter?”

I’ve been asking that since “Escape From L.A.”.

And I'm with Big K... the scene where they're tied to the couch trying to find who's no longer human... tense, scary, and suspenseful. What happened to John Carpenter? Easily Carpenter’s best film, and like Fure says, one of the best movies period.

Not only a great story, great gross-outs, but a pervasive atmosphere of terror that permeates from the credits to the end. I'm with you Robert. I love this film and don't think it's received nearly the recognition it deserves as a horror classic. In my opinion, John Carpenter’s finest film.

Jackson") is testing the blood of the other men who are tied up and one of them turns out to be The Thing. That has to be the most genuine display of terror I have ever seen on film. The best part: when the Army guy starts off speaking calmly and then explodes with: "I don't want to spend the rest of the winter TIED TO THIS FU*KING COUCH!!!"

This is def a gross and disgusting movie that crawls up your skin throughout. Good choice.
