Who was lucky enough to score tickets? Sucks i found out about this to late, really disappointed after i saw it was Attack Peter who did the thing poster. Hes probably my favorite artist left in Mondo.

I saw to late as well, bummer. The showings are only about an hours drive from where I live too.

The thing is a great movie, I did not know about it until my husband made me the movie.

It is a pretty cool movie and what really shocked/ surprised me is that it had an R rating. Didn’t seem like an R movie to me.

Bummed I missed this. Hoping they do more in the future

Hoping for more in the future and specifically on the west coast.

Postby **Stragon** » Sun May 14, 2023 12:31 am

This is really cool, wish it was closer to me. I have seen The Thing numerous times, not sure if I ever saw It Lives, will have to look for it.

I think once the new big spot in san diego opens that they are building we will see more events in san diego.

Hopefully this might be one of them. When is it due to be completed?

Mine, too! It and the Shining are probably 1a/1b at the top of the horror movie mountain for me!

Mine too, it has always been one of my favorite movies, made my kids watch it numerous times growing up, I also have the prequel, while not as good as the original, it at least stayed true to the story.
Really wish I could have gone to the theater showing of this.

Haven’t see They Live in a long time. Going to have to check it out again. Such a great premise.

I do not think they have announced a date yet, but I could be wrong.

I've gotten to see it in the theaters a few times now. Even once during the pandemic. My wife rented a theater out for my friends and I so we could have a private screening of the Thing.

I probably have seen it, big sci fi enthusiast, but cannot remember seeing They Live and I know I don’t own it so going to see if maybe it’s available on one of our streaming platforms.

I have many streaming services, that isn’t one of them, but I’m sure they have a free trial offer [-o<

She knew I was getting cooped up being in the house. And the theater by us was renting out private screenings of older movies for $100 just to get some sort of money coming into the theater.

Where was The Thing screening at during the pandemic? I would have loved to see it in theater!

AMC Theaters was doing a special during the pandemic, $100 for private screenings of older movies (they had a list).

Incredbile -- I will have to keep my eyes peeled for future screenings of this classic.
