Cheesy Halloween movies are decorum for this time of year. Just look at the remake of the 1982 classic, The Thing, which opened recently in theatres. It’s a Halloween cinema confection that’s doled out to supposedly scare the bejesus out of us, but Torontonians might want to check it out just to be smug, since it was filmed at the city’s Pinewood Studios.
