With everything we know about supersonic flight through atmospheres, a blunt nosed tube like a submarine would actually make the most sense. Sub sonic craft try to be as pointy as possible to reduce drag while supersonic craft tend to be blunt due to how air flows over the nose at high speed. It's interesting how the source material describes a much more realistic craft than the UFOs that were popularized in sci fi culture especially early on. While the aerodynamics may not matter in space surely aliens also need to break free of atmospheres entering and exiting planets
Subbed, thank you!!! Nobody talks about Horror Express, the algorithm heard me talking about it yesterday and here we are. Great stuff, well done-wish you all the success you deserve
This is like an early Christmas present. Brilliant video. The Carpenter version is one of my top 3 horror films ever (with The Exorcist & 28 Days Later) and I really needed to read the book. I’ll have to check out horror express too
31:10 interestingly the 2011 The Thing also had other aliens on board, however in the edit they decided to put a cgi wall of pixels over the alien body thus removing it from the movie, you can find behind the scenes videos and see that it was a blue alien with 3 eyes
What do you think about the thing videogame? (which is getting a remaster afaik), apparently its cannon to the story, and even John Carpenter himself appears on it, and said the game "kicks ass!"
Regarding boner; Yes, it can mean a clumsy or stupid mistake. Kind of specific, but anyway there is a comic which has the Joker complaining about boners. Can't remember if it is real or not, but it is kind of hilarious anyway.

Who knew the first comment would be one of the most insightful!
I love this series of yours. And I actually had no idea what Horror Express was before, but now I've gotta check it out. Thank you.
Thanks so much. Horror Express is a fun ride.

@@MrTibster merry Christmas!
Thank you so much
@@srstriker6420 hope you enjoyed the video 😎
@@couchbumkino5423I did and I hope that the next video will be Sleepy Hollow
Ive never seen these good job
i loved horror express alien, its speech at 8:24 was my favorite part of the film
That was a really cool part. It's the only Thing that talks (about itself in the 1st person) I forgot to mention that

@@UnstablePax it’s not about the boner, it’s about sending a message 🤡
"Best one" is Carpenter's. Hands down. 💙
Best and most accurate far as I’m concerned
