Episode 332: AMNAM Spooktacluar 2025: The Thing (1982)
Awakened from its icy slumber, our latest Spooktoberfest begins with John Carpenter’s 1982 cult classic The Thing.

An alien creature enters their midst in the form of a dog, but they soon discover that this entity can mimic the appearance and behavior of any living thing. Paranoia sets in as the group desperately tries to determine who among them is the murderous alien. R.J. MacReady, the camp’s helicopter pilot, attempts to lead the other men through this bizarre ordeal before it claims more lives. But as the Thing grows smarter and the group splinters apart, MacReady’s focus shifts from staying alive to winning at any cost. Even if help arrives, will they find a human being or something else entirely?
