Description

John Carpenter's The Thing is one of my favorite films. Bernie did creature designs and some storyboards and such for the prequel/remake film and so when I saw this I had to get it. Love Bernie, love the films, and love the grotesque image of the creature!

Terror incarnate! Such body horror strikes fear into the depths of our soul. Maybe it's our vanity and maybe it's our fear of the grotesque. Maybe we fear to secretly embrace the grotesque that could be in ourselves this very moment, just hiding beneath.

Hi Dave. Bernie may have contributed to the 2011 remake (or prequel) but it 's the first time I've heard him contributing to the Carpenter one? Mike Ploog did a lot of design and storyboard work (many of which you will find on CAF) for the Carpenter one. In any case, a great piece obviously.
