CREATORVC, the creative team behind In Search of Darkness and Aliens Expanded, today launched the pre-sale of The Thing Expanded documentary with Bloody-Disgusting’s announcement of an exclusive, brand-new interview with legendary filmmaker John Carpenter. To add to that excitement, we’re exclusively debuting the documentary’s poster.
In the new documentary, director Ian Nathan dives deep into the haunting world of Carpenter’s horror classic. He’s joined by producers Robin Block (CREATORVC), David Weiner (CREATORVC), and Josh Weiss (author of SYFY WIRE’s extensive oral history of The Thing) as they embark on the ultimate fan-driven companion to The Thing.
“With The Thing Expanded we are taking on the ultimate horror film,” says director Ian Nathan. “For Aliens Expanded we dove head first into James Cameron’s genre-making film. But now we get to explore the paranoia, the survival, and the themes of John Carpenter’s classic, all led by what the fans want to see. And those fans are just such an extraordinary resource. I want to be infected with their genius.”

The Thing Expanded will be centered on an in-depth analysis led by John Carpenter himself. The documentary will include a wealth of memories, stories, facts, rabbit-hole tangents, and theories about the 1982 film and its origins and influences that Carpenter fans demand, including discussion of the 2011 prequel, videogame sequel, RPG, comics, merch, the original John W. Campbell novella Who Goes There? and much more.
“I’m thrilled to invite super fans of The Thing on an extraordinary journey with The Thing Expanded,” says CEO of CREATORVC, Robin Block. “This unique experience is designed to deepen our understanding and appreciation of John Carpenter’s 1982 classic, bringing to light new perspectives and insights that will resonate with fans old and new.”
The pre-sale for The Thing Expanded runs from August 8 to September 2, 2024, with sign-up available at www.thethingexpanded.com.
