Scream Factory, the horror-thriller offshoot of independent film distributor Shout Factory, has confirmed that it is preparing a two-disc Collector's Edition of director John Carpenter's classic film
The Thing. The release is expected to arrive on the market in September.
Synopsis: Horror-meister John Carpenter (
Halloween,
Escape from New York) teams Kurt Russell's outstanding performance with incredible visuals to build this chilling version of the classic
The Thing. In the winter of 1982, a twelve-man research team at a remote Antarctic research station discovers an alien buried in the snow for over 100,000 years. Once unfrozen, the form-changing alien wreaks havoc, creates terror and becomes one of them.
