Doom Generation

In the American Research Institute in the South Pole, several snow pirates are met with a wolf dog being chased by a Norwegian helicopter and if they understood WTF they were saying, they wouldn't be in this mess. After eyebrows Hoolihan, Garry (Donald Moffat) shoots the Norwegian, the team decides to check out what could have happened at the other camp. They get MacReady (Kurt Russell) and his lustrous beard to fly them over and when they get there, they see twisted smoking bodies, an empty ice coffin, and a huge spacecraft frozen in the ice. They decide to bring the bodies back to be examined by nose ring having Dr Copper (Richard Dysart) and oatmeal eating Dr. Blair (Wilford Brimley). While all this is happening, dog wrangler, Clark (Richard Masur) is ordered to take the wayward dog to the kennels where it begins to transform...wetly. Blair discovers the secret of the shape-shifting organism, launching a night of paranoia where everyone is suspect. Who goes there? Is it Palmer (David Clennon), Fuchs (Joel Polis), Nauls (TK Carter), Norris (Charles Hallahan), Windows (Thomas G Waites), Bennings (Peter Maloney) or the always on guard, Childs (Keith David)? Take a quick blood test and find out in The Thing, this week on Doom Generation.

Writer Paul Sheldon (James Caan) wants to break free from the series of novels he's built his career on so he goes to his usual hideaway to finish something new.  He calls his agent, Marcia Sindel (Lauren Bacall) to tell her he's coming back with a manuscript, but drives straight into a blizzard. After a terrible crash, Annie Wilkes (Kathy Bates), former nurse and current wacko, takes Paul back to her secluded farmhouse for him to heal, but neglects to tell anyone that he's there. Sheriff Buster (Richard Farnsworth) must solve the mystery of the missing writer quick because once Annie finds out Paul's plan for her favorite fictional heroine, the nightmare really begins.

Wes Craven once heard a story about people who avoided sleep for fear of dying in their nightmares; along with a childhood bully and a step-father, it inspired him to create an iconic character who's haunted us all for 40 years.

Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund), child murderer, comes to thin lipped Tina (Amanda Wyss) with his wet face and knife glove in her nightmares, scaring her so badly she warns best friend, Nancy (Heather Langenkamp) who's had the same dream. Not wanting to be alone, Tina has a spend-over with Nancy, her boyfriend Glen (Johnny Depp), Tina's rough boyfriend, Rod (Jsu Garcia) shows up uninvited and she ends up slashed to death after a night of a pretty okay weinering. Rod is arrested by Nancy's father, Lt. Thompson (John Saxon). Nancy's drunken orange mother, Marge (Roni Blakley) must now come to terms with her part in the vigilante justice that resulted in the death of Freddy, causing him to come back for his children in A Nightmare on Elm Street. A 40 year celebration, dedicated to the memory of Kathleen Garcia, the gal that started it all
