I think you made a good choice.


Admittedly, Ive never seen The Howling either, but The Ting is a movie that no collection should be without.

Gotta agree with most people here

The first Howling was good, but after that i thought the series went downhill

Stick to John Carpenters The Thing, unless you have the choice to buy both

The Thing. I like Carpenter's whole approach to film-making. He could spend $1 billion on the film and it would *still* seem cheesey. Get The Thing.

I havn't seen The Howling but I can tell you that John Carpenter's The Thing is an absolute classic of a film - John Carpenter is the man!

I agree with most people (especially getting them both), The Thing is a classic. I do like The Howling, it is good, but no classic (I did find the follow ups quite funny, but not as good as the first).

While I agree that The Thing is wonderful i have to nitpick at the comment about the Howling. It is a definate classic to me, and a darn good film. I'll probably never watch it again, but it was still good. Not to be a total ass about it or anything... but yeah, i really think it is in that classic catagory.

But yeah. The Thing tops it.

They are both good flicks, but for me the Thing is superior. The incredible sense of tension created in that film makes it a classic. The Howling is really good for what it is, but I'm not exactly a huge fan of werewolves. Interesting concept though, and the ending is always good for a laugh.
