Director John Carpenter always wanted to make a martial-arts movie. He got his chance with his eighth feature film - and his third time teaming up with actor Kurt Russell  - an action-comedy set in the mythical and murky underworld of San Francisco's Chinatown. Fox rushed the movie through production and release to avoid competing with a similar-themed Eddie Murphy vehicle, The Golden Child, leaving little time for marketing the movie against its real competition: James Cameron's hotly anticipated Aliens, which opened two weeks later. The end result was a movie that bombed in theaters but went on to enjoy a long life on home video and cable TV as a cult classic.

Nowadays horror remakes are a dime a dozen. But if you were to ask any contemporary horror fan what their favorite remake of all time is, chances are they'll say John Carpenter's 1982 remake of The Thing From Another World. Or as he called it, The Thing. But what was it about that first film which made Carpenter want to tackle it at the pinnacle of his career? And what about the 2011 Mary Elizabeth Winstead starring attempt to reboot (retell, sequelize) it? Join myself, Matt, and the returning Mik Duffy as we attempt to answer these questions. Director John Carpenter was in a spot of power in 1982. His first horror film Halloween had already become a bonafide hit, and while The Fog didn't set the box office afire, it gained him even more respect within horror circles. Then, when fellow horror savant Tobe Hooper (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) was taken off a project that would have brought Howard Hawks' vision to terrifying life in the 80s, Carpenter was more than happy to take the reigns of The Thing from his hero Hawks' hands. But a low box office take would mean that Carpenter's career cold be in trouble. So how'd he do, and what do we think all these years later? Is its eventual popularity -starting on the home video market- something well deserved? Or were critics like Siskel & Ebert right in denouncing The Thing as trash that shouldn't be picked up again? Join myself, Mik, and Matt as we look at the film that helped bring one career down a notch, while Carpenter's stumbled. Which one was well deserved, and which one was just right?

Following the unparalleled success of his Genre defining slasher Halloween, Director John Carpenter was approached by Universal studios to helm the reimagining of the Howard Hawks horror classic The Thing From Another World as part of a multi picture deal that would’ve seen the director ascend to the upper echelon of filmmakers. In August of 1981 production began on the Claustrophobic, atmospheric adaptation of the John W. Campbell short. Not surprisingly the ambitious undertaking proved catastrophic financially as the production days and cost seemed to rise as the weather began to drop and while the film would go on to find its audience, its financial failure saw the potential derailment of a promising new voice.

With their harrowing trip into The Village behind them, what horrors now await Andy and Mitch as they coninue their odyssey through the world of critically maligned films? Episode 8 sees our intrepid adventurers joined by Lawrie Brewster of Hex Studios, director of Lord of Tears, The Unkindness of Ravens, The Black Gloves and the upcoming Automata! His chosen film?  In The Mouth of Madness. Director John Carpenter follows up Memoirs of An Invisible Man and Body Bags with In The Mouth of Madness, his Lovecraftian opus which many consider his last great film. Starring Sam Neill, Jurgen Prochnow, Julie Carmen, David Wrner and with an appearance from Charlton Heston, In The Mouth of Madness is a superb mind-melter from one of the true Masters of horror. The synopsis is as follows, John Trent, an insurance investigator recently fitted for a straightjacket, tells his story to a psychiatrist. Hired to track down the missing pop-horror phenomenon Sutter Cane, a Stephen King-like author whose fans are literally mad for his books, Trent finds the supposedly fictional Hobb's End. He watches the town collapse into madness, murder and monstrous transformations: the fantastic horrors of Cane's novels played out in front of his eyes.  Please note that this podcast may contain spoilers, strong language and even stronger Scottish accents.  Remember, you can keep up to date with our news by following us via the usual social media outlets:  Facebook Twitter Instagram Plus you can drop us an email to stronglanguageviolentscenes@gmail.com.   Strong Language & Violent Scenes theme by Mitch Bain Edits & Artwork by Andy Stewart Audio clip from The Room and excerpt from In The Mouth of Madness theme used in accordance with fair usage guidelines
