The Thing + GI Joes + Disco-Dance Music = ?

I’ll tell you what it equals…it equals awesome, baby! A mighty and fitting homage/tribute to the gruesome blood chilling movie The Thing using GI Joes and crazy Disco-Dance music from the Parisian band Zombie Zombie. If you don’t enjoy the music I suggest hitting the mute button though I do believe the music lends this clip a certain sense of anxiousness and suspense similar to that felt throughout the John Carpenter movie.

    I really love this video... I especially loved it when Neatorama posted it in the summertime?

    What a freakin' profesionally done video! Sound perfectly matched the action, and the action was very well done.

    Kudos!

    Not really disco music, but John Carpenter-inspired music.

    Not disco : zombie-zombie is a crazy scientist and musical project based in paris lead by two people, professor etienne jaumet and cosmicneman who use sound and rhythm to explore the feeling of fear growing inside of you.

    they draw inspiration from horror movie soundtracks by the likes of romero and carpenter as well as from bands like goblin, suicide, raymond scott, silver apples ...

    I'm NOT watching it again!

    It was entertaining enough, I guess.

    I was thinking the same thing...

    you guys need to check your old posts, I can understand revisiting something from 1+ yrs, but this is pretty recent for people who come here daily

    Yah, just because this was posted on BoingBoing doesn't mean it needs to be reposted on Neato.

    (BTW, I like Neato more than BoingBoing)

    Awesome animation.

    With 18000+ posts on Neatorama, duplicates happen. It's still neat, and therefore a good (re)find, Ali!
