"Left me with a creepy feeling about the higher elevations... and fog in them."
Yes, me too. To this day, whenever I am in higher elevations, see a cable-car, or am in fog...I want a .30-30 lever action rifle.
'Splains a lot, don't it.
The original The Thing was great, and so was Them. Any time I am around a dam, or even a sign for one, I suspect giant ants or spiders up in the hills. Maybe they will move today. I hope the Highway patrol still has their Thompsons, and can call in the Sherman tanks and bazooka teams. Maybe a saberjet or two. They knew how to deal with them monsters back then, all right. The original Blob was great too. Did you know that there are still giant crabs in the hidden caves buried under the beach? Well there are. The Martians are training them...for LATER...
......The End.....?
Remeber the Viaducts in LA where the giant ants and their Queen was hiding in "Them!", Poor Muttly?
The same viaduct was used in part of the Chase Scene in "To Live And Die In L.A.". I always thought that was a nice touch by Friedken.
And Muttly is so right about Monsters, Martians and Aliens being dealt with "Old School". With Shermans, and M-1 Garands, Flame Throwers, Tommy Guns, .30 caliber air cooled Brownings Maching Guns and F-86s.
Clint Eastwood flew an F-86 that dropped lethal Napalm and White Phosphorus on the giant "Tarantula!"
Never much cared for "friendly" monsters and aliens.
