Our intro song for Winter Hell is a mish mosh of soundtracks and dialogue clips that are pulled from horror films that take place in the frozen cold. Wendy Carlos and Rachel Elkind’s “Main Title” track for The Shining and Ennio Morricone’s composition for The Thing are the central themes you hear.
The outro music is the ominous end credits song from The Shining called “Midnight and the Stars are You” by Ray Noble and His Orchestra with vocals by Al Bowlly.

What was the original THING that came before THE THING and also before the the prequel to THE THING? 

It's 1951’s THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD, where the titular Thing is basically Carrot Frankenstein...and we fucking loved it. Really, it's worth watching.

It’s March. The end of Winter Hell is upon us. To lead us into our THE THING finale, we’re warming up a little THING miniseries first.  

This week, it’s the (mostly forgotten) 2011 prequel film directed Matthijs van Heijningen Jr…which is also called THE THING.

When we decided to do a winter horror miniseries, we left one slot open fantasizing that Alex Ross Perry (director of HER SMELL, LISTEN UP PHILIP) would come school us about a forgotten gem of the genre. 

And he did. Renny Harlin’s DEVIL’S PASS is wild.

This week we are diving headfirst into the unstoppably insane monster showdown that SHOULD have started the first cinematic (dark) universe, VAN HELSING. 

Frankenstein. Wolfman. Jekyll. Hyde. Dracula. The gang’s all here. And we’re losing our minds.

This week we're discussing a film that *should* be a fucking classic. There should be action figures. Midnight screenings. An Arrow Films box set. But this film barely exists anymore.

It's not just "TAKEN with wolves." It's THE GREY. And it rules.

This week our frozen horror series continues with the impossible SHINING sequel that somehow succeeds not only as a continuation to the Kubrick film, but also as a powerful story in its own right, DOCTOR SLEEP.

Wakey, wakey…
