Carpenter's The Thing has been in my top 3 horror films of all time list for years and years. Yet somehow, I'd never seen this documentary. To say it was a treat would be an understatement. I often wondered how they managed to achieve the effects in this film as well as the snowy, dreadful atmosphere. All those questions and more are answered here very in depth. This documentary is fan service in its most true form. Don't be put off from the 1998 release of this 'Making Of...', it's just as important to watch today as it was back then (assuming you love the film).
It was very sad knowing Charles Hallahan passed away not long after this documentary was filmed.
