TIL The Thing 2011 remake’s animatronics were covered in bad CGI! HORROR CHAT #TheThing #HorrorFilm

In this clip from the Mythic Picnic Podcast, we dive into horror classics and discuss The Thing—the 2011 remake, specifically. Fans of The Thing franchise know the incredible impact of John Carpenter's 1982 original, with its unforgettable practical effects and animatronics that still hold up today. Unfortunately, the 2011 remake chose to cover up its detailed animatronics with CGI, losing much of the original’s terrifying realism. Why did they do it? And how did it impact the film? We chat about what makes The Thing one of the best horror films ever and how practical effects can make or break a great horror experience.
