If you never watched it, enjoy! A horror classic
The original, "The Thing From Another World," is a truly terrible B-movie classic worthy of MST3K! Totally worth watching to see the masterpiece they turned the story into. The Mary Elizabeth Winstead one, same name, different movie, wasn't too bad either.
"Who goes there", John Campbell, 1938.
(And I seem to recall more movies that are rehashes of that novella.)
Horror Express with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, which I've never seen. William F Nolin, who did Logan's Run, wrote a version, but it was never filmed. Couldn't really find any others, but I'm sure there are.
I also just found out tonight that there's a fan film called The Thing Returns that looks so terrible I have to see it.
Also, there's The Thing video game for PS2, Xbox, and Windows. Carpenter apparently considers it to be a canon sequel and the events in it clarify what happens at the end of the first movie.
I want to see the practical efffects cut!
Just a Thing.
Snake Plissken Escapes from Antarctica
After that, he decides to change his name and retires to the Carribean.
I'd explain but it's a whole Thing.
