If you truly want to be scared out of your wits, then watch this movie with the volume turned up high on Halloween night. I guarantee you will jump out of your skin.

The Thing - Some movies simply hold up well, and this movie is certainly an example. The Thing is horrifying, disgusting and scary. This is the perfect trifecta of qualities that a good horror movie on Halloween should have. From the first frame of the movie, you are sitting on the edge of your seat. Good scary movies are tough to find, but The Thing delivers on every level.
