17. I had a feeling about that . . .

but I kinda hoped it was just an amazing photo some photographer caught on assignment in the Antarctic.

Aside: my own 13 year old horror and dread came from viewing the original “The Thing From Another World” with James Arness as the non-morphing monster. The movie barely showed the monster but when it did it scared the hell out of me. Then, in 1982, I went to see John Carpenter’s take, thinking that it would not match up well with the original -- and it scared the hell out me at age 37! It was like a punch in the face. No, like a series of face and stomach punches.

I love both. The early one for its classic “noir” approach to horror; the more recent because of it’s flash and bang -- and its closer adherence to John W. Campbell’s original short story. (Yeah, Carpenter moves the action from the North to the South Pole, but that’s a necessary decision, I think, to justify the amazing opening scene.)
