Snow Bathing

The Film: The Thing (1982)

The Cold Moment: In order to escape the unbearable temperatures the other six continents have to offer, a crew of scientists head down to Antarctica for a little respite.

Once there, the quite fantastic sounding blizzards, hailstorms and icy winds create just the kind of environment a man needs to escape a heatwave.

Annoyingly, this heavenly eden is shattered by a shape-shifting alien, which moves among the crew, wreaking havoc on their snowman building contest.

In the end though, a thoroughly miffed MacCready (Kurt Russel) reigns on the thing’s parade with flamethrower-based fury.

With his foe presumably dead, MacCready heads out into the great white wilderness, most likely for a spot of snow bathing - similar to sunbathing, except infinitely more awesome.

How To Recreate It: Get a job at your local supermarket, where they will have a huge refrigerated cold room in the back.

Sure people will laugh when you turn up to work in full extreme-weather duds, but once you lock yourself in the giant freezer, you’ll be able to spend all day away from the hostile conditions outside.

You also won’t really care about being fired, which tends to happen when you disappear on shift.
