Loosely based on John W. Campbell Jr.'s novella Who Goes There, the 1982 sci-fi horror classic The Thing also paid homage to influential writer H. P. Lovecraft, with director John Carpenter acknowledging the inspiration from the early horror icon. The film centers around the ensuing paranoia as a parasitic extraterrestrial lifeform infiltrates a remote Antarctic research facility with the ability to imitate any individual it comes in contact with. We have a typically-sized one sheet poster from the film, and it’s been signed by director John Carpenter. Featuring an individual who’s been appropriated by The Thing, the tag line placed above best sums up the film, with “The ultimate in alien terror”. Thrice folded, the poster exhibits prominent fold lines, with a single vertical fold line along with three horizontal examples. The colours remain vibrant with some toning occurring especially at fold lines, with light wear including some creasing along each. Reverse-folded, minor surface indentations are present, along with some light edge wear with all four corners remaining fairly sharp. Carpenter has signed along the lower right in silver paint pen just above the listed credits, and the signature displays well.
Starring Kurt Russell, Wilford Brimley, T.K. Carter, David Clennon, Keith David, Richard Dysart, and Richard Masur. Directed by John Carpenter.
