Fright School

We're being consumed by John Carpenter's The Thing (1982)! We discuss the upcoming Child's Play and Pet Sematary remakes, spilling imaginary tea with Lupita Nyong'o, and the state of our social media pages thanks to our latest student (ie unpaid) intern Brian! Joe gets very personal with Gus Kenworthy. Joshua goes on a rant about adaptations. We try to figure out if The Thing is about homoeroticism, the "devouring woman," or Cold War trust issues. This episode is a sequel/reimaginaning/remake/reboot? of Fright School episode 3 GAYLIENS Recommended reading for this episode: Underneath the Skin: John Carpenter’s “The Thing” and You written by Matthew Pridham WE'RE GOING TO MONSTER MANIA!! -Child's Play (2019) Trailer -Infection at Outpost 31 The Thing game -The Thing Art Book -Horror Noire: Blacks in American Horror Films -Get the book too!
