Viewers first became acquainted with the isolated horrors of John Carpenter's The Thing when it was released in 1982, but the story upon which it is based had already been in publication for over 40 years. Initially printed in Astounding Science Fiction in 1938, John W. Campbell Jr.'s Who Goes There? served as the basis for Carpenter's classic horror film (as well as 1951's The Thing from Another World), and a novel-length version of Campbell's story was recently discovered, prompting a Kickstarter campaign for the publication of his classic story in its fullest edition, titled Frozen Hell.

In fact, smiling in mugshots has become so common, some police even fine people when they do it. "As long as it's not — like some people will really cheese up and these kinds of things and we just can't have that," Capt. Mark McLaughlin of Mecklenburg County, N.C. said in 2012. Although there's no rule that says you can't smile in a photo, some deputies see it as a sign of antagonization, especially if you're booked for protesting. But...
