In this spine-chilling yet hilarious episode of Ahh! You Scared Me, Mike and Katie brave the sub-zero temperatures of Antarctica to review John Carpenter’s 1982 sci-fi horror masterpiece, The Thing. Starring a rugged, beard-heavy Kurt Russell and featuring some of the most jaw-dropping practical special effects in cinematic history, this film redefines the fear of isolation, paranoia, and body horror. From calculating exactly how long it would take the alien parasite to infect the global population to questioning why there are no women, the duo breaks down why this cult classic still gives us the creeps.

Hosts: Mike Woodhams and Katie Long

Director: John Carpenter

Cast: Kurt Russell, Wilford Brimley, Keith David
