Another John Carpenter fan??


Please be patient with me folks - so your American man who is the backpacker in 'Playtest' is the son of Kurt Russell in real-life.....in this episode (SPOILER ALERT) it shows a giant spider with a man's face - in 'The Thing' starring Kurt Russell I'm sure there was something similar, like a giant spider? Maybe I've dreamt it or I'm going insane? Any help would be much appreciated as I can't be bothered watching all of 'The Thing' again as it's so long! :)

In the thing one of the characters head falls off and sprouts spider legs

Yes, it's just after the scenes depicted in the link

The head on the original body stretches... off the table and drops to the floor where it sprouts legs and eye stalks. Ick!

Yeah, the spider thing was really reminiscent of the Thing. Had no idea that the guy was K. Russell's song! Thanks for pointing this out.
