TCM PRIMETIME - WHAT'S ON TONIGHT: TCM GUEST PROGRAMMER: JOHN CARPENTER   8:00 PM horror Thing From Another World, The (1951) 8:00 PM 87 min TV-PG horror Thing From Another World, The (1951) The crew of a remote Arctic base fights off a murderous monster from outer space. Dir: Christian Nyby Cast: Margaret Sheridan, Kenneth Tobey, Robert Cornthwaite. 87 min, TV-PG , CC CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW: D: Christian Nyby. Kenneth Tobey, Margaret Sheridan, Robert Cornthwaite, Douglas Spencer, James Arness, Dewey Martin, William Self, George Fenneman. Classic blend of science-fiction and horror, loosely based on John W. Campbell, Jr.'s Who Goes There? Scientists at lonely Arctic outpost dig up alien (Arness) from the permafrost and must fight for their lives when it's accidentally thawed. Tense direction (often credited to producer Howard Hawks), excellent performances, eerie score by Dimitri Tiomkin. Screenplay by Charles Lederer. Watch out for 81m. reissue prints. Remade in 1982.   9:45 PM horror It! The Terror From Beyond Space (1958) 9:45 PM 69 min TV-PG horror It! The Terror From Beyond Space (1958) A blood-sucking monster stalks the crew of a U.S. spaceship. Dir: Edward L. Cahn Cast: Marshall Thompson, Shawn Smith, Kim Spalding. 69 min, TV-PG CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW: D: Edward L. Cahn. Marshall Thompson, Shawn Smith, Kim Spalding, Ann Doran, Dabbs Greer. The second spaceship to Mars heads for Earth with the sole survivor of the first expedition, accused of murdering his crewmates--but the real killer is a Martian monster (Ray "Crash'' Corrigan), which has crept aboard the returning ship. ALIEN owes a lot to this tidy, suspenseful, but underproduced movie, scripted by sci-fi writer Jerome Bixby.   11:00 PM horror Curse of Frankenstein, The (1957) 11:00 PM C-83 min TV-14 horror Curse of Frankenstein, The (1957) A scientist's attempts to create life unleash a bloodthirsty monster. Dir: Terence Fisher Cast: Peter Cushing, Hazel Court, Robert Urquhart. C-83 min, TV-14 CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW: D: Terence Fisher. Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, Hazel Court, Robert Urquhart, Valerie Gaunt, Noel Hood. OK retelling of original Shelley tale, with Cushing as Baron von Frankenstein, whose experimentation with creation of life becomes an obsession. First of Hammer Films' long-running horror series, and itself followed by six sequels, starting with THE RE VENGE OF FRANKENSTEIN.   Carl Ray Louk "FRIENDSHIP NEVER ENDS" SG-1996 "LET LOVE LEAD THE WAY" SG-2000 "THE PHOENIX SHALL RISE" SD "EVEN A MAN WHO IS PURE IN HEART AND SAYS HIS PRAYERS BY NIGHT, MAY BECOME A WOLF WHEN THE WOLFBANE BLOOMS AND THE AUTUMN MOON IS BRIGHT."
