Directed by legendary horror icon John Carpenter and named one of the greatest thrills in the history of the art form, THE THING (1982) was included among the inarguable programming that made up AFI’s NIGHT AT THE MOVIES in 2013 – a veritable fireworks display of great American films, each presented by an artist responsible for bringing it to life. Star Kurt Russell was on hand to introduce the film, which also appeared on AFI’s ranking of the art form’s most heart-pounding adventures.
