The Thing (1982)
The Thing is a 1982 American science fiction horror film directed by John Carpenter from a screenplay by Bill Lancaster. Based on the 1938 John W. Campbell Jr. novella Who Goes There?, it tells the story of a group of American researchers in Antarctica who encounter the eponymous "Thing", an extraterrestrial life-form that assimilates, then imitates, other organisms. The group is overcome by paranoia and conflict as they learn that they can no longer trust each other and that any of them could be the Thing. The film stars Kurt Russell as the team's helicopter pilot R.J. MacReady, with A. Wilford Brimley, T. K. Carter, David Clennon, Keith David, Richard Dysart, Charles Hallahan, Peter Maloney, Richard Masur, Donald Moffat, Joel Polis, and Thomas G. Waites in supporting roles.

Fun Fact: This was the first film in history to ask the question: Windows or Mac?
-
Alien: I'm the perfect organism. The Thing: Hold my J&B and watch this.
-
So.... It's 1982 and I'm standing outside the theater, waiting for the previous crowd to exit. As they left the theater, everyone has an erie, silent and shocked look on their faces. A foreboding sign of "Things" to come.
-
The Alien wasn't inside the dog, the dog WAS the alien.
-
Decades later, the practical special effects in this film are still phenomenal.
-
Interesting factoid: Carpenter filmed the Norwegian camp scenes after the end explosion scenes, using the damaged American base as a stand-in for the charred Norwegian camp.
-
I saw this and poltergeist in a double feature at night, by myself in a theatre when I was 12. Freaked me out. Then my mum forgot to pick me up so I was stranded in a dark empty carpark for hours. Good times, in 1982.

Best Sci Fi Horror Thriller Film Ever Made! Even though critics tore this movie apart, calling it "instant trash, boring, dull a wretched excess", it has gained positive reviews overtime and has been regarded as one of John Carpenter's best movies ever made.
-
"Please tell nothing happens to the dog" Well... "The dog" is actually what happens. 😂😂
-
My late father took me to see this in 1982 when I was 15 years old. It is my favorite horror movie to this day. Thanks, dad RIP.👍
-
The Thing is one of the best horror films of all time. The special effects are amazing
-
The significance of the dog is: dont imediatly side with something just because it is cute. Evil may lurk within, as it always does.
-
Strong recommendation for 'The Blob' (1988). More glorious, drippy, wet practical effects, well-written script, and some of the most creative creature kills ever filmed.
-
Me: “I do not watch movies where the dog dies” Also Me: “Yeah, you had it coming”
-
“Please tell me nothing’s gonna happen to the dog.” Oh boy…
-
“This is honestly creepier than Alien”. Yea, that’s one way to put it. 😂
-
The orig one was in 1951 , although it was called " The Thing From Another World ".
-
The Thing rookie: "Please tell me nothing happens to the dog..." The Thing veteran: 👽
-
Watching reenactors fall in love with the dog never gets old!
-
My older sister was in the Navy and she did a summer in Antarctica. I have pictures of her at the South Pole. The ironic “THING” was that she was there when this movie was in theaters!
