My favorite movie of all time. Gonna see it on the big screen this week.
Sorry to burst your bubble but Childs is a Thing. Read the comic books. They're canon

Quote HistoryQuoted: The 1982 Thing was a remake itself. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I loved that movie!!! The remake SUCKED I still think the original 1951 version was better. But I still love this one too. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: it is my firm belief that the writing was best in the original. It's the 1st movie I can remember that had overlapping dialog. People talking over each other just like real life. It's a fantastic movie. The 1982 version is excellent too. |

Me and some guys went to see it in a theatre the first week it came out. Scared the bejesus out of us. During that scene with the dog/thing, half a dozen women got up and jogged out, most of them holding their hands over their mouths.

I love The Thing and its prequel (2011) also.
I wish they would make more films in this "universe". You could put it in any setting. Maybe a Viking ship sailing across the sea could come across The Thing and the whole movie could deal with them fighting it. |

It gets loose in a 'galactic empire' situation and kills EVERYBODY, just a few tiny pockets of life left isolated and in terror. |

Screenplay by: Charles Lederer, Uncredited, Howard Hawks, Ben Hecht Toss in Lederer and you have a trifecta of perfection. Three pros who worked well with each other. Think something akin to the Cohen brothers, it's hard to tell where one left off and another took over. |
