What if horror fiction became real? In the Mouth of Madness (1995) is John Carpenter’s terrifying ode to Lovecraftian horror.

"Call me Snake..."

This evening's viewing distraction takes me into the far, futuristic year of, er, 1997. Restored version of Carpenter's brilliant Escape From New York.

The Thing but it's Pingu = Thingu

#31DaysOfHorror recommendation number ten.

Prince Of Darkness. @horror

Fairly well-known, compared to the usual recommendations I would make, but still a title I consider overlooked when compared to the rest of Carpenter’s filmography, which is full of features hailed as either classics or stinkers, whereas this is just very good.

Sorry, mailman. I know streaming films is easier on your back but I am grateful for how you carried physical media for me.

One of my favorite movies, and probably my second favorite John Carpenter movie after "The Thing." Both, of course, star the great Kurt Russell.

Really cool Fango piece on the differences between The Thing film and the book it was based on. Some wild differences, and some good history on the movie. This was a great read.
