THE THING! (1951)

A preview of the limited run exclusive Comfort Blanket series on The Top Ten Sci Fi Movies (as chosen by 2000AD comic in 1980).

A celebration of a fondly remembered series from my childhood, where the guys behind Judge Dredd listed the science fiction films that you simply must see, and a generation of kids - or maybe just me - followed their advice.

Ten classic films that defined the genre, rewatched, enjoyed and reconsidered in the Comfort Blanket style. The journey from Metropolis to Star Wars, in ten (sometimes quirky) choices.

This series is available in full on the Gralefrit Substack and the Comfort Blanket Patreon.
