The Thing was released in the year 1982 and it was directed by John Carpenter. It is classified as a science fiction horror film. This is perfect for Halloween night, though due to the icy atmosphere you could also watch it during the winter. The film's most notable star is Kurt Russel. There's aliens, blood, and good atmosphere. The film's main attraction isn't its storyline. The main attraction is without a doubt the special effects. Now keep in mind this is a horror movie so the special effects aren't necessarily going to be "pretty." With that in mind if you have a weak stomach then definitely do not watch this film. Some of the alien transformations in the movie are quite disgusting, which is saying something when I can handle looking at mangled bodies. The film's atmosphere is also rather pessimistic, so don't go watching this and expect any type of happy ending. But if all of these things are not a problem for you then this movie is definitely good for at a Halloween viewing.
The Halloween mix is a playlist of music that I think would be good to play in order to sett up a creepy mood. Most of the songs are electro - industrial songs from the 1980's. There are a few gothic songs as well.The only odd track is D.O.A. by Bloodrock as it is an old rock track. The creepy thing about the track is the organs found in it. I was somewhat limited in what I could choose based on the fact that I didn't want to go past the year 1989. It isn't a very long playlist either.
The Playlist :
1.Skinny Puppy - Fritter (Stella's Home) (probably the creepiest of them all)
2.Skinny Puppy - The Choke
3. The Klinik - Vietnam
4. Throbbing Gristle - Hamburger Lady
5. The Cure - Pornography
6. The Cure - The Final Sound
7. Bloodrock - D.O.A.
This is a strong playlist.
