In case you’ve never seen John Carpenter’s “The Thing” perhaps the best most suspenseful scene is the blood test scene. The remaining men at the Antarctic camp have discovered that the creature stalking them can take on the appearance of any living thing and is scared of fire. So after drawing blood from everyone and placing it in these small round, containers they touch each disc of blood with a flame. If that blood is the blood of the creature it makes an appearance from the blood. That’s what I was attempting to tie in with the blu ray disc on the last panel. I know, I know, any joke you have to explain…

And this sad photo is what the Eastland Mall Theater looked like after it had closed and before they demolished it.
