Has the Thing seen the Inverse Fire?

Prompted by u/Careful_Champion7361 great recent post and my comment on it. Before >!TUC (or maybe TGO?) reveal what the Inverse Fire truly looks like!<, given the supposed sci-fi nature of it, I honestly thought it was possibly the visuals of some kind of high-tech data processor only clearly not understood by the ancient Nonmen who tried their best to describe what they saw, using the closest metaphors they could. It isn't exactly as I imagined it but always reminded me of the Inverse Fire, to be honest.

(Granted, it is never explained just what even this thing is, no pun intended, that Kate sees when she enters the UFO's pilot chamber, so I'm speculating here, lol.)

Have you seen the film? Did anyone else have the same feeling?

Which phone call in a horror film scared you the most?

''We've traced the call...''

Maybe a bit niche trope, but in my opinion, quite terrifying when done proper!

We all know the iconic heavy hitters like Black Christmas, When A Stranger Calls or Scream of course ( One of my favo's is The Mothman Prophecies, if you couldn't tell! ), but beyond those, are there others that really scared you, and why?

Was it mere sound design? Even the way it is edited? Some line of dialogue itself? Or something totally else, like how the scene is filmed or the reveal who's on the other side?

Lemme know in the comments!

( Thanks to u/TheElbow and u/Mysterious-House7815 for giving me the idea! )

Born Rauff de Ryther Duan Acklom, his good looks made him one of the leading men in the early 30s pre-Code romance and light drama films, even though today he is most famous for roles in horrors such as Dracula, The Mummy and The Black Cat. Despite successes and praise from both co-stars and critics alike, he soon grew frustrated by his roles and retired from film work altogether in 1936, instead pursuing writing, painting and studying philosophy. Briefly married to a woman, he spent full 30 years with his life partner, playwright Bill Mercer, outlived him by another 20 and passed away at the ripe age of 98 in 1998.
