John Carpenter “couldn’t decide” about a key aspect of The Thing’s ending, which instantly proves several major fan theories incorrect. The run of John Carpenter movies from the 1970s to the late 1980s is one of the all-time greatest director hot streaks. In the span of 14 years, he helmed Halloween, The Thing, Escape from New York, Big Trouble in Little China and many more. In addition to that, he often wrote and composed the music for his work too. While The Thing is now hailed as Carpenter’s masterpiece, the reception to the film in 1982 was utterly hostile.
