About this event
Watch John Carpenter’s 1982 horror and sci-fi classic “The Thing” during John Carpenter Fest at Hippodrome Cinema. Kurt Russell stars as a member of an Antarctic research team confronted by a shape-shifting alien that can assume the appearance of its victims. As suspicion spreads through the isolated group, the team must determine who is still human while fighting to survive the deadly creature.
