This sci-fi horror movie by John Carpenter was based on the novel Who goes there? by John W. Jr. Campbell. However, Who goes there? is only the shortened version of a much longer novel by Campbell, titled Frozen Hell. Alec Nevala-Lee, the biographer of Campbell, discovered the manuscript of Frozen Hell in a box of manuscripts at Harvard University when doing research on Campbell. Two years ago, a successful Kickstarter campaign started to raise money to publish Frozen Hell.
