Welcome to 1982 creeps. Usually, I hate remakes. Once in a while there is a remake that actually has something to say or improves on an original film. John Carpenter's The Thing is probably the best remake ever made. In fact it's one of my favorite horror films ever. The original film is awesome but this one's got the scares in spades. So let's talk Halloween. Audiences in '82 went to see Halloween III thinking they were going to get more of Michael Myers killing teens but John Carpenter and co had another thing in mind. Super moody and spooky. Some people don't care for this sequel. I freaking love it. Then you got some wholesome family horror in Poltergeist. I saw it with my mom in the theater when I was a little kid. I was super scared and I loved every second of it.
