SPRINGfilm: John Carpenter's 'The Thing' (1982) In-Person

A cold, dark January evening is the perfect time to enjoy a free showing of a cult science fiction horror film as SPRINGfilm presents John Carpenter’s ‘The Thing’. At 6:30 p.m., Thursday, January 13 come to the Wildish Theater in downtown Springfield and watch as an American research station in Antarctica is besieged by … something.  After helicopter pilot R.J. Macready (Kurt Russel) witnesses a helicopter crash, biologist Blair (Wilford Brimley), performs an autopsy on a strange corpse which appears to be not of this earth.  Soon something is preying upon the other members of the expedition. Reviled upon release, ‘The Thing’ has become a cult classic and now recognized as one of the best science fiction and horror movies ever made.   Masks will be required to attend this showing.

SPRINGfilm continues at 6:30 p.m., Thursday, February 10, 2022 with a free Valentine’s Day week showing of “Strictly Ballroom”. Masks will be required to attend this showing.

SPRINGfilm is made possible by a partnership between the Springfield Public Library, the Springfield Public Library Foundation, Willamalane Parks and Recreation District and the Wildish Community Theater and is generously sponsored by Plank Town Brewing Company.
