The horror part of The Thing is, by far, the least interesting thing about the movie. The part of The Thing that sets it apart from any lesser "horror" movie, that I have ever seen, is that it is about a bunch of guys faced with a real threat that can imitate them and the suspense through paranoia; looking up those other two movies doesn't lead me to think they are anything alike.

I think I even tried to watch The Mouth of Madness and quit after 30 minutes, I guess I'm not a big fan of the decent into insanity Lovecraftian shit when it isn't in space, like Event Horizon. Plus for my Event Horizon first watch, I knew nothing about Lovecraft, other than hearing his name in passing, so there was no Deep Ones or Cosmic Horror references to influence my watching.

I can't really say I like a single movie that Carpenter wrote himself that I would watch more than once (of the 3 that I have seen). That said, Prince of Darkness kinda looks interesting, as I did like Warlock 1 & 2, even though they aren't masterpieces that can be watched over and over again, like the 3 movies I listed about.

Same deal with looking over Assault on Precinct 13, which I'm probably wrong about, but the stills of the movie on IMDB look like max cheese on a movie formula I have seen in 10 other movies.
