John Carpenter is one of the most influential filmmakers of the 20th century. Through science fiction, action, and horror, the director has told some of cinema's best stories. In 1982's The Thing, Carpenter brought audiences a chilling tale of cosmic horror meets isolationist paranoia in the frozen wasteland of Antarctica. The iconic movie ended on a nihilistic cliffhanger and fans wondered what had happened for decades after the credits began to roll.
