PopHorror Let's Get Scared
John Carpenter’s masterpiece, THE THING (1982), turns 40 years old in 2022. The film returned to theaters recently thanks to Fathom Events. I don’t know about you, but personally, I’d love to watch it on the big screen at least once a year.
About the only thing I love as much as this movie? Memes based on the movie! I’ve seen tons of them on Twitter and Facebook over the years, so I thought it might be fun to collect them in honor of the film’s milestone anniversary.
We hope you enjoy these as much as we do!
Do you remember the first time you saw it?

What if you could go back?
It’s the greatest, right?
When someone says they don’t like THE THING…
Definitely an underappreciated classic…
