5 Horror Movie Remakes That Actually Don't Suck

No, we're not talking about that trash 2011 remake. John Carpenter's 1982 classic, which has definitely secured its place in the horror canon, is actually a remake of 1951's The Thing from Another World. There are so, so many reasons The Thing is iconic. It's a master demonstration in practical effects, and there's something to be said about the paranoia and dread that grow more and more palpable as the film progresses.
