StriderSkorpion Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Has any of you who like John Carpenter's The Thing seen The Thing from Outer Space? It's the original black and white movie that The Thing is based on. It's not a bad movie for its time, but I didn't think it was scary (could've been for its time, dunno). I like The Thing a lot better, though. BTW, is the game any good? I'm interested in playing it too see if its any good myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain FuKu Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 I don't see why a movie should be labeled "horror" if it's humurous and/or cheezy. I have seen very little in terms of true horror movies. I think I get scared more with playing a survival horror than watching most horror movies nowadays. The Thing? I haven't seen it. But as for the game, I'm guessing it's crappy. My recommendation is that you should rent it first -- if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriderSkorpion Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 (edited) I don't know why it would neccessarily be crappy. It was done by Konami, so I don't think it'd be crappy (not that Konami hasn't done crappy games). Those movies that are funny/cheesy usually TRY to be scary, but sometimes fail miserably. I can't say that any survival horror game has been that scary to me, but they usually get my adrenaline (sp?) if they're any good.

It's just that games based on movies have a tendency to be crappy, so...yeah, I could be wrong. But like I said, rent first, if possible. Yeah, survival horrors may not always be scary, but it often has its moments when it gets the adrenaline (sp?...yeah, not sure on the spelling either. lol) going, and most horror movies can't even do that for me. So, I take survival horror over a so-called "horror" movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryph Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 The scariest movie, hands down, is Plan 9 From Outer Space. My eyes were closed for almost half the movie because it was so "scary." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriderSkorpion Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 On a side note, K Man, weren't Jerry and George going to see it one episode of Seinfield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryph Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 On a side note, K Man, weren't Jerry and George going to see it one episode of Seinfield?Yes, twice actually. The first time in "The Chinese Restaurant" (Ep. 16) and then in "The Postponement (Ep. 112). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriderSkorpion Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 (edited) I remember those episodes. I didn't realise in the Chinese restaurant episode that the movie they were seeing was Plan 9. I didn't even know they mentioned the movie's title. You live, you learn a little more about TV. Edited April 7, 2004 by StriderSkorpion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like some shows too, but that doesn't make me want to memorize every single episode number and synopsis. Edited April 7, 2004 by Agozer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like some shows too, but that doesn't make me want to memorize every single episode number and synopsis. I'm a freak. Well I don't memorize the episode numbers. I just remember what episodes they were in and quickly check my Seinfeld folder to corroborate the episode name with the number (I have all episodes on my computer ). But I do usually remember what happens in each episode; what can I say, I'm a Seinfeldologist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
