The Color Out of Space?

r u fucking kidding me. this is 100% just a list of movies that:

1. you've seen
2. you like
edit: black christmas???? the blob???? CARRIE???? MAGIC??? BLACK FUCKING MAGIC???!?!?!?! rear-are-you-fucking-crazy-window.

I can give you some of them:

Rosemary's Baby
Alien
Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Others are good, but nowhere near the thing (High Tension).

Then you leave out Halloween and Friday the 13th. Both of which have several installments almost as good as The Thing.

THEN the lack of other Carpenter movies is distressing.

smh smh smh

No it's not. This is a list of films I firmly believe there's a case to be made for. There are lots and lots of movies I like that I would never include on this list. Lots of the films I don't even think there needs to be a case to be made, like it should be blatantly obvious they're better films - Rear Window, Cannibal Holocaust, American Werewolf in London, Martyrs, Candyman, Audition, Repulsion, Possession, etc.

And Halloween is massively overrated and most of the sequels are so milquetoast and bland. Friday the 13th films are okay, but they're not like critically well made films that have much to offer.

EDIT: wait, how is Black Christmas a shocking inclusion?
