"It's a blessed condition, believe me": Images of African Americans in horror cinema #9.

Throughout February, ANTSS will be running images that reflect - for better or worse - the image of African Americans in horror cinema.

Poster for The Thing (1982), featuring, among others, T. K. Carter and Keith David.

Music: G. I. Joe versus The Thing!

After an entire series devoted to silent cinema, what better way to get back to the regularly scheduled Screaming of And Now said action Starts than a music entry? Today, my little screamers and screamettes, we take a look at the video for the French electronic music duo Zombie Zombie's song "Driving This Road Until Death Sets You Free."

Why, you might well ask, should you care about a Zombie Zombie's first video?

Because, cool cats and kittens, it is homage/remake of John Carpenter's sci-fi/horror classic The Thing that uses meticulously created miniature sets and G. I. Joe figures instead of human actors.

I won't go so far as to say this video is the reason the Internet was invented (because I have it on good authority that tranny-granny watersports porn is reason the Internet was invented), but it is the coolest use of G. I. Joe figures perhaps ever.

Dig, children.
