lol this movie is sort of my introduction to body horror (or was it Parasite Eve?).
TheΒ THING is such a fun movie. I still can't find another movie that has better practical effects.

This was my first body horror movie and I was WAY too young for it at the time
I still think this movie has the best Practical effect. I love those documentaries where they show how all the freaky monster stuff was made

Dude it's just AMAZING seeing how it was all made!
Such a shame the studio behind the prequel had their practical effects cut from the actual film. I've never fully finished it simply because of that -_-

I didn't even try to watch the Prequel thanks to the fact they nuked the practical stuff.
Then again, for what I heard the Prequel makes the Thing creature into a idiot. It reveals itself unnecessarily just to back in more action and jump scares. The exact opposite of a cunning alien beast it was in the original...
That is enough to ruin my interest in the whole movie.

You are missing NOTHING...believe me.
I would have been a happier man without seeing that "Thing" = P

Yeah, I picked on it being horrible waste of time pretty quick. Most 80's movie remakes/reboots/whateverthefucks are usually utter garbage.

Aaaand the fact that the moment they put a girl on the lead you knew she was going to be spared really ruined that movie.
At least to me...it was soooo obvious that she was going to escape...
On this one there were no chance in hell for any of the survivors,that's a great ending!

People are still doing unnecessary debates to this day about that ending lol

The best part is the ending....most likely both were no longer humans....and in time a rescue team will come to see what happened ) = )

Childs could have been assimilated at some point when he was off screen, but I like to think MacReady kicked The Thing's ass
π: 0 β©: 1
I like to think it too....as a matter of fact I prefer them both to be Human at the end...and they survive the long night and storm by eating roasted "Thing" and using the (nearly completed) UFO that the doc built with parts from the Helo,not to fly out there,but as a power source for heat,an Igloo will take care of the shelter part.
Roasted "thing"...I bet it tastes like chicken = )

Wonder did anything survive MacReady's dynamite rampage anyway. He pretty much sacrificed the whole base and himself to stop the Thing.

The movie does not show,he is the type to go all out never stopping to think about later.
But when "later" arrives his kind always find a way.

If you go by the comics, the Thing and MacReady survived and go on fighting
But I don't really take those comics into account, I like the Thing as a self contained story.

this is that sht from mountains of Madness xD lol

Alien monster is released from ice and everyone dies. It's very much like At The Mountains Of Madness

Kill it with copious amount of fire and napalm.

And don't forget the dynamite!

Agreed. The setting is perfect for setting up a believable isolation, the creature might just be the most terrifying thing to ever exist in fiction and the paranoia... Oh god, the paranoia.

The creature is actually benevolent and only wants to help humanity: clarkesworldmagazine.com/wattsβ¦

Oh yeah, I remember reading that. Interesting perspective for sure.
I personally like to think The Thing is just a bestially cunning alien fauna that was being transported by the aliens who build the spaceship that is found buried inside the ice. The Thing somehow managed to get loose while being transported and assimilated most of the alien crew with the last alien that remained going MacReady on the Thing's ass by crash landing the ship and sealing the monster away in the permafrost.

Horror movies don't get much better than The Thing

Man, what a COOL idea from StarGamerWorld!!! Love this art too! Saw it in the local $1 theatre in NY with my ex-wife. We were up all night afterwards! SCARRRRRRRRY!Β
Kurt Russell at his best....put a patch on his eye and he's SNAKE!!!
π: 0 β©: 1
The Thing is almost a perfect horror movie for me. Both psychological and viceral horror in same package! The alien effects are still topnotch!
Russell is great in pretty much all of Carpenter's movies, I especially like his Jack Burton (Big trouble in little China) and MacReady (The Thing) character roles

Oh man, yeah this film is a classic. Hard to go wrong with fanart of this.
And hey, if those two are your favorite movies, why not mash them up together?

The Good, The Bad and The Thing? I think you are onto something here
To be fair, I have already (kind of) crossed them over multiple times since my stuffs commonly features both western and horror themes.

True! Western and horror genres are pretty awesome
