We’re all going to lose ourselves someday. The betrayal of the body is the surest thing since taxes. We’ll forget, or we’ll die, or both at the same time. It’s when we lose each other – the social trust of our communities – that our understanding of the world shatters like frozen blood.

THE THING (1982) is another one of those horror classics that defies nature by remaining relevant, astounding, and popular decades after its release. From the mechanical mirroring of its soundtrack and plot to the ways it’s inculcated pop depictions of body horror, we’re going as deep as we know how for this week’s episode about one of our favorite movies.

This showing at the Trylon was chosen by Nicole Pamela, volunteer projectionist since July 2009.
