It's no secret The Thing (1982) is one of our favorite films to reference. It's a cinematic masterpiece in all phases, and stands as John Carpenter's finest work. Fans of The Thing have enjoyed numerous special edition versions, notably Arrow Films and Shout! Factory. The makers behind CreatorVC aim to best that.Today we are joined by Ian Nathan who directed the wildly entertaining Aliens Expanded. For that effort CreatorVC managed to wrangle the entire cast and crew including James Cameron and Sigourney Weaver (which is no easy feat), so the bar has been set exceptionally high for The Thing.

Love it or hate it: The Omen franchise is not going anywhere! So long as warm bodies flock to theaters or pay to stream it, 20th Century Studios will continue to churn out sequels. Or in this case, a prequel.
The First Omen serves as a spooky catalyst to the original 1976 classic. Nell Tiger Free plays Margaret, an American sent to Rome to work at an orphanage before taking the veil. If you have seen any of the previous installments then you have a pretty good idea where The First Omen goes, but we do give credit to the film's pacing, atmosphere, script and ending which lines up nicely to the main event: The Omen.
