The magnificent Brian Moore provided the iconic soundtrack to a moment of high drama at Anfield.
“THOMAS CHARGING THROUGH THE MIDFIELD. THOMAS… IT’S UP FOR GRABS NOW!”
The Thing (1982) – from flop to legend. When it premiered, the film failed because E.T. had audiences falling in love with a friendly alien. Carpenter, instead, delivered a creature that could imitate anyone, spreading paranoia and fear.
Rob Bottin’s practical effects turned every transformation into a nightmare.
Initially slammed as too violent and bleak, The Thing later became a cult classic and is now hailed as one of the greatest sci-fi horror films ever made.
