Paranoia spreads like an epidemic among a group of researchers in an isolated Antarctic outpost as they’re infected, one by one, by a horrifying creature from another planet.

Another report from today.

Apparently, this house will contain sets that are identical to the new movie. Apparently the creative team visited the set of the new film and copied a lot of what they saw.

Also...

This is the only house my friend said he wasn't told how Lady Luck is connected.

Thanks for all the info! :rep:
So it's going to be similar to what Wolfman had to offer. Pretty cool!

Live thoughts from @cfl_halloween:
The Thing is a very disorienting, bloody house. Creatures are awesome.
The house ends the way the movie ends.

Want to talk about surreal experiences? The Thing; I felt like I was in the movie.

It kind of felt like I was watching the movie. I didn't really get too many scares in this house, but I plan to give it another try opening night.

I keep hearing references to the original movie (outpost 31, the ending, etc.) but isn't this based on the prequel at the Norwegian base?

I think its based off the movie coming out next month. There's a sign once you enter the soundstage that establishes that you are in Norway.

You're still in Antarctica just like in John Carpenter's The Thing. Except you're at the Norwegian base camp miles away from the American base camp. The Norwegians discovered "the thing" before the American base camp did so it's a prequel.

I went in it again tonight and it was so much better and way more intense. Really good job.

You definitely feel like it's an Antarctic base and not the research facility in 2007. More effects and definitely more Thing creatures.
