In Search of Darkness: A Journey Into Iconic '80s Horror (2019)

Handsome, rugged, versatile and charismatic character actor Tom Atkins was born on November 13, 1938 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Atkins initially became an avid horror film fan in his childhood days; Howard Hawks' immortal classic The Thing from Another World (1951) made an especially strong impression on him as a kid.
