I would have tuned in if one of my oshis wasn't streaming an outfit reveal (she is planning to do a watchalong of it this month, though!). The Thing hits all the right horror buttons for me. I hate cheap jump scares. Suspense, atmosphere, and storytelling will always reign supreme for what I like in a horror movie. The fact that The Thing is all of those plus the body horror, sci fi, and lovecraftian horror aspects just elevates it to perfection, imo.
It is a shame sci fi horror is so sparse, nowadays. I think it a well of untapped potential.
