"Seeing it now treated with the same care and reverence we had making it, means a great deal to me and everyone who brought it to life." -John Carpenter

Monsters & Matinees' @ToniRuberto shares thoughts on John Carpenter's "The Thing" - one of 25 films named to the 2025 National Film Registry in recognition of its place as a film that is “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant.” And also the only horror/sci-film on this year’s list.

"It was a giant slug with two big eyes and was surprisingly intriguing. I can’t put my finger on why it looked interesting instead of cheap or ridiculous, but it did. So I went with my gut, watched the film and wasn’t disappointed. Even the writing surprised me in a good way with a touch of humor, characters with some depth and the many tropes we love from ‘50s horror films." - Monsters & Matinees' @ToniRuberto dives into ‘The Monster That Challenged the World’ :) #TCMParty

"These labels don’t only release the films on physical media, they are usually remastered or restored, so you’ll often see the best available version of the film. Plus they come with all-important exclusive extras like interviews, featurettes, collectible booklets and image galleries. You would be pleased to see how much new content is included."

"To say Carpenter’s film was ahead of its time is one of the biggest understatements in film history." - Monsters & Matinees' @ToniRuberto shares thoughts on John Carpenter's "The Thing" - one of 25 films named to the 2025 National Film Registry in recognition of its place as a film that is “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant.” And also the only horror/sci-film on this year’s list. #TCMParty

"Not even two minutes into the film and the tone abruptly shifts to one of horror as thunder booms, a storm surges and a majestically atmospheric score written by Kenneth V. Jones sets the mood. It’s a wonderful opening for a horror film." - Monsters & Matinees' @ToniRuberto shares thoughts on Who Slew Auntie Roo starring Shelley Winters, Mark Lester and Ralph Richardson... https://t.co/oFz2i4pgfI

"A disastrous miscalculation by filmmakers that brought down a fledgling studio. A legal order for the destruction of an artistic work. That should have been the end of F.W.
