John Carpenter‘s The Thing captures the exhaustive toll of paranoia and mistrust when a shape-shifting alien enters the ranks of an Antarctic research facility completely isolated and stranded by harsh weather conditions. The eponymous Thing could be anyone at any time, especially if its victim broke away from the group for even a moment. Carpenter used this to his advantage, switching tactics and surprising the viewer repeatedly through shocking reveals. The pinnacle of this mastery is found in one of the most epic jump scares in The Thing, the iconic chest defibrillation scene. Based on the novella Who Goes There? by John…

Freddy Krueger was everywhere in the late 80s. It only made sense that he’d get his own show. But unlike Friday the 13th: The Series, Freddy’s Nightmares would put its headlining star front-and-center. Introducing every episode and frequently participating in the plots, Freddy hosted a show that would explore the lives (and deaths) of the citizens of Springwood. Much sleazier than its namesake film series and produced on a miniscule budget, every episode of Freddy’s Nightmares offered something interesting. Especially given that each episode was made up of TWO stories; the first twenty-minutes following one character’s “nightmare” and the second…
E!: I would love to know about the logistics of packing for Summer House. Some people come in with boxes the first week as if they’re moving in for the whole summer. Then there are other cast members who bring small bags back and forth during every episode. What’s your strategy?PD: The cast all packs differently too. Some people pack for the whole summer and bring so much the first weekend. I can’t do that, solely because of anxiety. What if I’m in the city and need a pair of shoes that’s in the Hamptons? I will freak out. I’m such a…
