In this episode of Could They Survive?, we drop John Nada (Rowdy Roddy Piper) from They Live into the frozen nightmare of Outpost 31 from The Thing. No MacReady. No prep time. Just Nada, a flamethrower, an unhealthy amount of paranoia, and a creature that can perfectly imitate anyone.

Could Nada expose The Thing before it assimilates him? Would his famous sunglasses actually help? Or would the entire station be on fire approximately 15 minutes after he arrives? 😂

We break down Nada’s strengths and weaknesses, the blood test, his potential six-minute fistfight with Childs, and whether his “kick ass first, ask questions never” strategy could actually SAVE HUMANITY.

Before we can even start the review, The Collector has found the Mouths of Madness… and he wants IN. 😈 The seal is the only thing keeping him out — but there’s one problem: he knows EXACTLY how to tempt each of us. Can every member of the Mouths of Madness resist The Collector… or will one of us BREAK THE SEAL AND LET HIM IN?! 👀

Then we descend into the 1995 cult horror insanity that is Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight — demons, incredible practical gore, dark comedy, questionable life choices, and Billy Zane going absolutely UNHINGED as The Collector.

💀 Would YOU survive The Collector's temptation?
