8th Annual THING-FEST 2008 Oct. 2008 - Toronto, Ontario

THING-FEST is an annual celebration and gathering of fans for the 1982 cult sci-fi/horror film THE THING complete with a big screen 35mm showing.

THING-FEST is held in London, Ontario, Canada, about 2 hrs. drive from Detroit, MI or 1 hr. from Buffalo, NY. (See the map below.) The high-light of the event is the screening of the film at Western Film in a state of the art theater at The University of Western Ontario. The projection system at this theater is superior to what you will see at the local big name franchises. Your going to see a sharper image and brighter picture on a massive screen. There is seating for 375 people, including a balcony.
