  John Carpenter: Master of Fear Collection
Some of the best that he's made, this four
film set contains "The Thing", Village of the Damned", "They Live" and
our personal favorite "Prince of Darkness". This set will give
you hours of enjoyment and a few cringes with some scenes from "The
Thing" and the very creepy "Prince of Darkness"! |
