Micro Mention "Who Goes There?"

 

Sure, “Who Goes There?” by John W. Campbell might be a rip-off of another favorite story of mine, “At the Mountains of Madness,” but I still love it to pieces because it ultimately gave us John Carpenter’s “The Thing,” my favorite horror film, ever.

Having read the novella more than once, I still prefer the 1980s creature feature that uses all too disturbingly realistic and gross practical effects. Still, it's fascinating as a fan of Carpenter's movie to see the backbone of what made that movie possible.
