Cool Item From John Carpenter's THE THING Up For Sale!!
Merrick here...
If you're a big fan of John Carpenter's THE THING, like I am, then
...might be of interest to you!
I know many AICN readers are (rightfully) nuts for this film, so I thought a heads up might be in order. Good luck!
Hey folks, Harry here.... I talked to a member of the Visual Effects team on THE THING today and he says it looks absolutely for real. Not being able to physically handle it - he says it's either an extremely good replica - or the real thing. That said - he believes it to be the real THING.
