Its failure to launch was a combination of several factors, but chiefly: folks just weren\u2019t in the mood. A despondent chiller punctuated with reputable excess didn\u2019t sit right. Audiences wanted something more uplifting, and <em>The Thing <\/em>had the misfortune of debuting on the same month as <em>E.T.<\/em> <em>the Extra-Terrestrial<\/em>. So, Carpenter\u2019s shape-shifting infection from another world did the box office equivalent of a pratfall. <\/p>\n<p>Luckily, most of Carpenter\u2019s career has big\u00a0\u201cyour\u00a0kids are gonna love it\u201d energy. Cable re-runs may have eviscerated all of <strong>Dean Cundey<\/strong>\u2018s beautiful split diopters, but small screen showings effectively ensured <em>The Thing<\/em>\u2018s survival and inevitable cult following. <\/p>\n<p>And adoration, not unlike the titular Thing, takes many shapes, from sold-out Mondo board <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>s to adoring compilations of <strong>Kurt Russell<\/strong> cackling like a maniac throughout the film\u2019s commentary track. But every good cult-movie lover knows one expression of love tops the rest: turning a film into a musical. And if you\u2019re thinking the upbeat medium of song and dance is at odds with <em>The Thing<\/em>\u2018s vibe, think again. The audiences of 1982 were right about <em>The Thing<\/em>\u2018s hopeless, apocalyptic gait. But they lacked the imagination, let\u2019s say, to see the (bloody, depraved) joy at the heart of it all. <\/p>\n<p>So, without further ado: here\u2019s <em>The Thing <\/em>re-imagined as a big-band musical number. <\/p>\n<p id=\"block-b5ac606c-b74a-4cab-a663-701ec85c7024\">Watch \u201c<strong>John Carpenter\u2019s <em>The Thing<\/em>:<em> <\/em>The Musical<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"John Carpenter&#039;s THE THING: THE MUSICAL\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8faq5amdK30?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n<h2 id=\"block-da44f2c0-01e5-442d-b111-649cfba1b5a9\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_made_this\"><\/span>Who made this?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"block-97ab8436-7bdb-4e43-8f3e-4e4c57043b5e\">According to <strong>Legolambs<\/strong>, they\u2019re the world\u2019s number one source for internet musicals of both classic and modern cinema.
