It might have been John W. Cambell then. He was a great chiller.

His story, "Who Goes There?" was the basis for the movie, "The Thing."

John Carpenter's version tries to capture the true horror that the short story evoked.

I still remember how my heart pounded as I read the original. Chilling is the word.
