'Shaun of the Dead' Director Picks His Six Top Horror Flicks

The Thing (1982)
Director: John Carpenter

It's got some of the most amazing freak-out alien scenes you've ever seen, the transformation sequences. The first time I saw that, I was 10 or 11. Me and my brother were watching it on network TV, and it was so frightening that we had to flip channels during scenes. Aliens [usually take human-like form], but The Thing goes into morphing and bizarre hybrids of spider and man and alien and dog. It's the product of some warped minds, and it's still one of the freakiest horror films. If you showed Psycho to kids, you'd have to say: Well, this was really shocking at the time. But The Thing will always stand up. And Kurt Russell's beard looks great.
