Hello, Fermented Folks! Tonight we debate the OG Thing from Another World, the 1950s film which inspired John Carpenter’s The Thing and the 2011 prequel film. Our guest this evening is Robert P. Ottone, the 2x Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Triangle, The Deep, The Vile Thing We’ve Created, There’s Something Sinister in Center Field, and much more. This film doubtlessly inspired one of the most iconic isolation horror films of all time, but does that make it a good film automatically? What shall the dice gods determine for our debate? You’ll have to tune in to find out. Psssstttt... have you liked, commented, subscribed, and shared? Well, don’t worry... It’s not too late! DO IT NOW! Also, have you checked out all of Robert’s awesome stuff? You’ll need to do that as well, or frankly, you’re depriving yourself of some truly awesome horror fiction.
