The Sci-Fi Slob
After Director John Carpenter screened his completed film, the movie studio insisted that he go back and film a scene where MacReady is in a hospital, explaining how he alone survived.

However, this film isn't a spectacular display of acting, but very few horror films are.

There's an adage in film making 'show horror elements in brief, dark scenes'.
