Unfortunately it’s in glorious head-in-way vision, but who cares – here’s your first peak at next years frozen creepout fest – The Thing Prequel. Not many details are forthcoming regarding the exact plot this update/reboot/pre-boot to John Carpenter’s ‘82 classic will take, but so far but we do know it’ll feature Norwegians (or ‘Crazy Swedes’ if you prefer) giant blocks of ice, dynamite, flame-throwers and of course, gigantic exploding spider-head beasts from beyond the stars!

Hallowe’en Preview: Bloggers Choice.
1 CommentsSeptember 15, 2010 – 6:21 pm
With the night’s already drawing in, it’s time to turn our eyes forward to the winter holidays, and around here that means one thing: Hallowe’en.
Generally speaking we’re a bunch of pantywaists down at STS towers, but if there’s one thing guaranteed to stop us hiding behind the sofa and get us out and about on the spoooookiest night of the year, it’s the promise of some classic head-off-shoulders-catches-fire-turns-dogs-inside-out John Capenter action, so we were especially pleased when the marvelous chaps at top discount website vouchercodes.co.uk and Most Wanted got in touch to tell us about their new all hallows eve promo.
For one night only, it seems they’ll be taking over a fancy-schmancy central London location, laying on booze and popcorn and showing at least one of the above classic horror flicks – but which one?
Well, that’s up to us see – It’s one a’dem crazy ‘bloggers choice’ award things! Huzzah -finally someone respects our opinion! This despite the fact that I nominated ‘The sasquatch Gang’ for Oscar glory last year.
While freddy, Leatherface and even dear old Satan himself all have there attractive points, we have to say that nothing scares like the thought that your friend, your lover, or heck -even you, could at any point turn into a hideous multi-mandibled star-beast hell bent on wiping out mankind!!
Of course, we’ve been wrong before. What do you think? Is The Shining scarier? Does ‘Dawn Of The Dead’ put the willies up you in a way that ‘The Thing’ never will?
We’re going solidly with the alien menace on this one – but if you think we’re wrong -then hell kids – let us know!

With Bruce Willis currently clanking robotically across cinema screens everywhere, the danger of being replaced is high on the public agenda!
It’s safest to assume you already have a colossally evil doppelganger lurking out there, ready to bump you off and slip into bed with your old lady as soon as possible – and she won’t be complaining, he’s got rechargeable Plutonium power cells!
Fortunately Hollywood has long represented the other you on screen, and STS has waded through a whole bunch of them –yep, even those godawful 70s ones with John Saxon – to compile this handy print out and keep guide to make sure you stay you!
Don’t go changing –It’s the STS guide to Replacement Thrillers!

With chilly crapola-fest Whiteout currently packing idiots into multiplexes across the globe, STS investigates Hollywood’s long, unhappy tradition of snow-bound terror and destruction. Put on your furry hat and long johns and follow us then dear reader, as we explore the –quite literally-coolest characters, scenes and entire movies that utilise the snow, ice and general brrr-chilly-ness of the tundra to such startling effect; yep, it’s the STS guide to: Arctic Flicks!
