THE COLD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE EXTREME ISOLATION WHICH DRIVES THE PARANOIA

THE COLD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE THING'S OWN MOTIVATION TO FIND A WARM HOST AND ITS INABILITY TO ESCAPE WHICH DRIVES THE STORY

YOU COULDN'T DO THE THING IN A COTSWOLDS HOLIDAY COTTAGE NOW COULD YOU MATTHEW

Beautiful, but unhinged. I only nodded approvingly once at the Harryhausen skeletons.

The Thing trending hot? Are flamethrowers and warm places to hide more important than the film's isolating, extreme cold itself? Tell Matt it's howls of outrage from me.

I think the 4 humours would need their own separate set of quadrants to avoid miscategorisation (for example, The Shining is clearly choleric horror, despite being cold).

I'll go get the graph paper

Already kicking myself, The Thing ought to be wetter.

I'm afraid you are mistaken, Hero. Allow me to demonstrate, with the help of quadrants.

Troll answer: Rime of The Ancient Mariner is the ultimate incarnation of both Wet Horror (water, water everywhere; slimy things upon the slimy sea) and Dry Horror (not a drop to drink; Death as the terrifying spectre of dehydration) and cannot be reduced to either. It is 1798 and oceans are deserts.

Thank you for checking! We'll be aiming to get started around mid-Sept, so that definitely wouldn't be a problem.

Oh, it's not subtle at all, I was poking fun at ourselves!
