The 1982 sequence is itself a recreation and reference to the opening of “The Thing from Another World” (1951).

Recreating 'The Thing' Title Burn
What a fantastic portrait of Rudolf von Larisch!
Fun lettering, c. 1895-1905. Near Broadway and East 8th.

@FontsInUse@typo.social I can second that theory. Bernie himself told me that the name is indeed Carnase+Bernie. He may have been the one to commission it from Tom. Bernie used to work with Tom under Herb Lubalin. Carl Fischer also worked with Herb.
This feels very familiar... Does anyone know what the typeface is? Feels like it's in the Touraine/Peignot/Radiant vein.
