Concept art and storyboards from 1982's The Thing on display...

Even though 2011 saw another remake of The Thing, John Carpenter's version is far superior (and itself a remake of 1951's The Thing From Another World). Universal Studios Hollywood had this fantastic collection of concept artwork, set blueprints and storyboards from the 1982 film on display on November 30, 2011.

Hellraiser Pinhead special effects figure and puzzle box prop...

In Clive Barker's 1987 British horror movie, Hellraiser, the world was introduced to another iconic movie monster, 'Pinhead', who was played by Doug Bradley.

Cult horror favourite 'Pinhead' is the leader of the sadistic demon 'Cenobites', who can be summoned from an other dimensional Hell to claim the soul of anyone who solves the mysterious Puzzle Box on Earth.
