What makes this a great horror film is the effective atmosphere it was able to create. The cold and desolate Antarctic setting and the music complements it so well. We as the viewer feel just as isolated as the characters in the film and just as scared and hopeless. That's what's missing in horror films these days...ATMOSPHERE.

I agree with you all the way, most of the "horror" films today are all centered on the devil and demons. That's absolutely not even scary, because it's so saturated to the point that it has absolutely no atmosphere, character development, and so much more! Movie directors should step up their game and see fit to what an actual horror film should be- and not the half-assed and CGI shit that we are skeptical to see. I could go onto a huge rant, but I'll just keep it short- hopefully the movie drain will unclog todays repetitive excuses for "horror" or "thriller" films.

+bigleaguechew87 Yes. A little close-knit group, isolated and out of reach of all help, suddenly facing something straight out of Lovecraft. Some THING which could hide, consume and imitate your friends, then pop out without warning as a true Eldritch Abomination. Something so completely alien that the mind was numbed just to look at it. (Indeed, one particular character's calm reaction to one of the Thing's more nauseating parlor tricks is a significant clue that he himself was a Thing at that point in time. )

The Thing is without doubt the greatest, most unsettling, most claustrophobic, most paranoia-filled horror movie ever made, bar none - and I include the original Alien in that. John Carpenter didn't just make a masterpiece: he created a cinematic legend that is still unsurpassed nearly 40 years later. It doesn't get any better than this...it really doesn't.

I know *EXACTLY* what you mean because I've always thought the same things myself. This film feels almost beyond reproach because there's just nothing to criticise, even down to the smallest details. Heaven only knows what those brain-dead critics were thinking of back in 1982 when they badly derided this magnificent film. Well, nobody remembers their names 38 years later, but everyone knows about this classic. The Thing greatly deserves the global cult following it's achieved over the years, and you can't say much more than that. An outstanding production and work of art.

Gives me chills, because it's just so awesome. "It got back inside and knocked out the generator. In six hours, it'll be a hundred below in here." - "But that's suicide!" "Not for that thing... It wants to freeze, now. It has nowhere to go. It just wants to go to sleep in the cold until the rescue team finds it." - "What can we do?" "Whether we survive or not, we can't let that thing freeze again. We're not getting out of here alive... but neither is that thing. Maybe we'll just warm things up a little around here."

It's actually Carpenter's soundtrack with Morricone's name on it. Carpenter rewrote most of Morricone's work. It prompted Morricone to ask Carpenter why did he hire him if he was going to replace 90% of it anyway. Carpenter kept Morricone's name on the soundtrack because a lot of the reworked soundtrack was based on Morricone's main theme. It should be noted Morricone specifically wrote that theme in Carpenter's style as a nod to the director and it was never intended to be anything more than incidental music.

My absolute favorite horror film of all time, and not only does it entertain, but also lends itself to different theories and conversations like these (30+ years after!). There are 2 things that still elude me--when exactly was Blair infected? ("I hear strange things out here...")? And what exactly happens to Fuchs. I guess an infected BlairThing gets to him?? Theories?

John Hakes When he performed an autopsy on the dog monstrosity, he came in contact with the dangerous bacteria form the blood which covered his hands. (Fully aware that he wore gloves, but I highly doubt it would protect him.) He touched it without worrying about the consequences and thus he was infected.

+SharxShakudo 25 The part of the Dog-Thing he was autopsying was pretty much dead, it was not a source of infection. (Some of it DID get away and later reappeared, mashed together with the Blair-Thing for the final battle). There was a storyboarded scene with the Blair-Thing attacking Fuchs from the ceiling and devouring him, but Carpenter just couldn't get the FX to look convincing so the scene was cut, leaving Fuchs' fate ambiguous. (Ironically, only a few years later, the 80s remake of The Blob would actually do a couple of VERY good ceiling-attack scenes).

@@olengagallardo8551 I just watched that prequel tonight. It was rather underwhelming.. they should have stuck to the original and used practical props instead of CGI... for me it killed the horror vibe. It just didn't have the same tension and atmosphere as the original 1982 one. What I did appreciate was the ending at the credits.. tying in the prequel to the 1982 original with the dog.

In fact John Carpenter´s The Thing was based almoust entirely on the sci-fi/horror novel "Who goes There?" by John W. Canpbell, same way the 1951´s movie "The Thing From Another World". John Carpenter saw the 1951´s movie when he was a child, and was fricking scared with it, but when he he was older and decided to make a remake of "The Thing From Another World", he read the book and realized that it´s director and producers had changed a lot of things from the book, in part because of the lack of special effects of that time; Then "The Thing" is almoust entirely based on the book, and less of the 1951´s movie

TheDestint It's actually not that bad either and you can see how it influenced a number of movies afterwards. For example tracking the Thing's movements through the complex by checking for radiation spikes is very similar to Alien when you watch it and FUN FACT it was the first time they ever did a full body burn ie setting fire to someone and have them writhe about completely on fire. It looks incredible and must have been terrifying for the stuntman and the actors as he is smashing the place up.

Never gets old since I was around 7 when I saw it on TV at grandma's, and still scares the crap out of me hearing the single bass thumping of the theme marking its ominous presence. It's so simple and yet its eerieness grip forever.. A wonderful rare case of not having to be complicated to be remembered. And The Thing is a masterpiece in every way, it's musical concept as well as it's practical effects in the movie is what made it come alive anytime better than crappy CGI that's overblown in movies today. Thanks so much for this timeless upload.

+sbrute66 It was in self defense. That what he killed was *human* just makes it blackly ironic; he kills one of the remaining humans while Things are freely roaming the base. That was the point that the situation started to spiral completely out of control, and it was also the point that the audience realized that Blair was both prophetic and correct: The only priority was keeping the Thing from loosing itself on an unprepared Earth. At *all* costs.

There's a reason I used to start my Call of Cthulhu games with this theme. I don't think I have found ANY other soundtrack, ever, that screams "Lovecraft" more than this one. It helps that the movie itself was a modernization (albeit very loosely based) of *At the Mountains of Madness,* same as the original short story Who Goes There? There have been many, *many* depictions of Eldritch Abominations in the movies... but to me, at least, nothing even approaches the Dog-Thing when it comes to what confronting a cosmic horror would be like. And these men were trapped alone with it, with nowhere to run and nowhere to hide.

Not a Misogynist -- woman hater -- or anything, but the fact that there were no women in the cast just added infinitely to the dark, lonely, tone of the movie. And Morricone's soundtrack just told you from the beginning that everybody was going to die.
