Day 31: John Carpenter's The Thing (1982) - 31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2024

  31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2024:
John Carpenter's The Thing (1982)

It wouldn't be "31 Days of HELL-O-Ween" without a reference to "John Carpenter's The Thing" (1982), and in this case, also a slight nod to "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" (1966).

Well, I made it to the end of "31 Days of HELL-O-Ween"...  Thanks to all of you for stopping back and the kind words of encouragement for this mad endeavor!

Every year it is a shocking amount of work that seems to increment up, taking more and more time; and every year when I am finished I swear I'm not going to do this again, and yet here we are.  On top of that, this year I had a few other things going on which I thought for sure would possibly spell me missing several of my self-imposed deadlines, but I managed to get through (barely).  For all my complaining, it is a good exercise, although I am beginning to wonder if I should change things up next year and move away from movie monsters and begin to consider broadening my horizons...

I guess we shall see.  That's a decision for future, non-tired John to make sometime next year!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
