Hey, I'm actually the person who paid to request They Live on KL's channel! In a way, I got two for the price of one if KL's video helped this land on the poll. The reason you could not remember Piper's character's name is because it is never mentioned. In the credits, he is called Nada, the same name as the character in the short story the movie is based on. "Music by John Carpenter" is actually more common than not. The Thing is one of the only movies where he worked with another composer, the legendary Ennio Morricone (The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly). The famous theme to Halloween, for example, was Carpenter. Carpenter considered using Kurt Russell yet again in the lead role, but didn't want to get overly associated with just working with KR, so he decided to cast someone else instead. I believe Piper quit the WWF in order to make the movie, because they wouldn't permit him to leave, and he wore his own wedding band in the movie because he didn't want to take it off. When it came to the legendary "bubblegum" one-liner, Piper showed Carpenter a book of potential wrestling catchphrases that he had come up with, and they agreed that the "bubblegum" line was the one that fit the character and the movie. (And yes, Duke Nukem stole the line, as well as some other key one-liners from another similar genre classic. Carpenter loves videogames in real life, so it's kind of fitting, especially given two of his other movies very clearly inspired some other iconic video game characters.) Naturally, Piper choreographed the legendary alley fight, working with Keith David to come up with all of the beats and showing David how to perform them safely. David later said it was the safest he ever felt doing a stunt or fight scene because he trusted Piper's judgment based on his years of wrestling. After they had it nailed down, they went to Carpenter's office and showed him what they'd come up with and he was so impressed he promised to put the entire thing in the movie. The two TV aliens talking about "George Romero and John Carpenter" are meant to be Siskel and Ebert, in a good-natured jab. Carpenter also employed real homeless people during the production, making sure they got a full paycheck and food. Around 2016 or so, certain people were trying to push the idea that They Live was based on the old racist conspiracy theory that Jewish people controlled the world. Carpenter took to Twitter to debunk it: "THEY LIVE is about yuppies and unrestrained capitalism. It has nothing to do with Jewish control of the world, which is slander and a lie." Pretty much every movie Carpenter made between 1978 and 1994 is worthy of a reaction if you haven't seen them. The genre classics are Halloween (1978), The Fog (1980), Escape From New York (1981), obviously The Thing (1982), Christine (1983), Big Trouble in Little China (1986), Prince of Darkness (1987), and In the Mouth of Madness (1994). During this time, there were also some TV movies (1979's Elvis, Carpenter's first collaboration with Russell, playing the man himself, and 1980's Somebody's Watching Me!), one uncharacteristic romantic sci-fi drama (Starman, 1984), and one notorious misfire (1992's Memoirs of an Invisible Man). After In the Mouth of Madness, the most notable other Carpenter film is the 1996 sequel Escape From L.A. Personally, I think this is maybe my favorite Carpenter. It's real tough because The Thing is one of the greatest horror movies ever made, but I think the combination of over-the-top '80s action and anti-capitalist commentary really makes this special. I love the choice to turn the alien-vision black-and-white, which is such a simple but effective bit of visual language. Also, if Drew loves Cabin in the Woods, I wonder if he's seen Scream? (It's necessary to see Friday the 13th and Halloween, as it spoils both of them, and advisable to have also seen A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Exorcist, and Psycho as well.)

That’s a lot of amazing information, thank you! It really was a special movie, and I love Carpenter standing up for its actual message in 2016, too. The Siskel & Ebert jab gets two thumbs up from me! I haven’t seen scream (but have seen Scary Movie), and I think I’ve seen most or all of all of the listed prerequisites. Thank you for helping us watch this film! I always figured it was just some campy thing since Piper was the star, but it really was something special. I’ve told every relative and friend I’ve spoken with since watching it that they needed to seek this movie out and watch it, too. –Drew
