John Carpenter, Kurt Russell, and Keith David (Childs) have all said that "YES, Childs was infected at the end". There's the lame excuse of "lost in the storm" but the subtle hint is that his breath doesn't show in the cold like Kurt's (MacReady) does. Plus, there's a graphic novel that picks up after the movie that has Childs as the infected person too. The Thing wasn't dead at the end...part of it was Childs.

Maybe Blair is trying to contain it.... But if he WAS infected- destroying the radio prevents anyone from warning any possible rescue team to stay away and not approach the base. Eventually "someone" will come, but if our heroes got a message out, the base could be quarantined permanently. But just as importantly- Blair's rampage creates a distraction to allow another "Thing" to destroy the blood bags; Palmer is not present during the radio room destruction. How did he get the key? Windows dropped them in a panic when he witnessed Bennings' mid-transformation. This is also why Windows freaked out and ran for the shotgun as the group would figure out he was the last one with the keys and would suspect him.

My favorite (and only) horror movie. It's actually based on a novella by John W Campbell (Who Goes There". And props to Jeb. The reason that dog seemed so "off' was because it's a half Malamute-HALF WOLF. From what I understand, the actor that played the dog handler had to train with the dog from a couple of months just so he could read the dog cues and so the dog would feel comfortable walking along side him without tearing his face off by accident. They had to lock down the set whenever that dog was filming so it wouldn't get spooked and injure someone. Was it worth it having a wild animal on set? Well, that scene where the dog materialize out of a shadow and walks down the hall is the creepiest thing I've ever seen in a movie.

The point of the movie is that the biggest scare isn't the monster itself, but that it could be any one of us, and we don't know who: Paranoia & Suspicion. When it absorbs someone, it assimilates their personality, memories, and intelligence. So, when it has a person, it's at least as smart as them, if not smarter, so the Thing was able to figure out their plans--which is why it stole the detonator, sabotaged the blood bank, and tore off the nametag. As it assimilates you, it gains your way of thinking, and understanding of your physiology. Which is why it was able to fake Copper's heart attack (and was foreshadowed by him having a weak heart). Supposedly, it can become even smarter by absorbing multiple organisms, which led to it building that ship. On the flip side, when it's small as a dish of blood, it can only act on basic survival instinct--moving away from the hot wire.

My absolute favorite movie of all time. One of the most persistent theories and debates of the last 40 years is whether Mac or Child’s was a Thing at the end. That’s why the ending is so powerful! There is no definite answer! It purposely forces you to ask questions. Love it!

Childs does wind up being assimilated in one follow-up continuity, in the first time Dark Horse made comics for the Thing (or rather second, since it was a sequel to a sequel). Those sequels range from "adequate at best" to "oh gods how did this turn into borderline incestuous fetish fuel OMFG".

Because practical effects are a physical thing that can be interacted with in the real world, it’s like it has more impact than just cgi. There’s this connection felt with things that are obviously tactile and real, and I’ve really grown to appreciate that as I’ve gotten older. 😁👍 CGI is great but there’s something really impressive about creating something so ambitious within the limitations of the physical world.

They actually made a Prequel (which is also called "THE THING") to this Movie back in 2011. It also takes place back in 1982 and 3 days before the events of the John Carpenter Movie and it is the story of what happened to the Norwegian Base (the base where the Dog-Thing came from). The Prequel stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Joel Edgerton. Now I myself actually like the Prequel although it is not anywhere even close to being as good as the John Carpenter Movie. It also unfortunately has got a lot of really bad CGI in it (the reason why is because they actually originally did do Practical Effects when they made the Prequel however, really really late into Post-Production of the Prequel, the Studio for some reason stepped in and at the last minute had almost all of the Practical Effects in the Prequel get covered over with the CGI. The fact that it was done so late into Post-Production is 1 of the main reasons why I think the CGI looks so bad). However, If that sort of thing (really bad CGI) is not something that bothers you then you should check it out. Again, The Prequel is not anywhere even close to being as good as the John Carpenter Movie (far from it in fact) but I myself still like it.

- The idea of people not seeing Childs' breath in the end has been more or less debunked elsewhere, but there is a key piece of information that pretty definitively clears Childs. When the alien copies you it grows a new copy of you from infected tissue and tears out of your body and clothes, because of this, any jewelry on non-organics in your body wouldn't be part of the copy of you. In the last scene, Childs turns his head for a moment and gives the camera a full and lingering shot showing that he's still wearing his earring, which The Thing wouldn't have had. That said, when McCready gives the bottle over to Childs, the ominous music starts as soon as he starts taking a drink, and McCready laughs. This could show that McCready is The Thing, and that he's laughing because Childs just infected himself through saliva when he drank out of the bottle. Great film, and great reaction !

So I gotta explain this ending because it's not entirely obvious but I've rewatched this movie probably about a hundred times and someone pointed this out to me; The survival game between MacReady and The Thing is like a game of chess. In the beginning MacReady plays the chess game and thinks he has the computer beat until he gets checkmated in one move and his first reaction was to call it a cheating b**ch and dump his whiskey into it, being a poor sport. Throughout the movie, MacReady uses his intellect to anticipate the things next move while the thing is also trying to stay one step ahead of its opponent (MacReady; the alpha or most competent of the human species on the base). So all the moves the thing does ahead of time; getting to the blood, trying to assimilate the dogs, assimilating more than one human at a time and maintaining raport with the enemy, building the ship, those were all the thing's moves in its strategy to outsmart macready and the rest. Now in the end, mac did his best to wipe what he thought was the last of the thing out with the dynamite. His final move was to sacrifice himself, knowing he was gonna freeze to death in one desperate attempt to beat the thing. But then Childs came to the aftermath and mac is obviously questioning if childs is really childs or the thing. But the thing (as childs) is also aware that it is going to freeze then and there with mac. And what mac does is similar to what he did the first time he was checkmated---he gave the thing a drink of his whiskey. And Childs Thing didnt want to try to assimilate Mac and risk freezing mid-transformation, thus ruining its chances of being able to assimilate and survive again when they were to eventually be found by the next team to take over the base, so he plays it cool and shares the drink with mac. This, Mac knew childs was the thing, and childs knew mac knew. Their exchange of dialogue in the end is kindof like a cryptic form of respect for being bested by their opponent. Long story short, in the beginning, mac demonstrates his immaturity by insulting his checkmating opponent, but through the whole ordeal he eventually was humbled by an opponent much smarter and advanced than humans could ever be, so in the end, mac decided to treat his victor with respect.

I'm happy to see that people are getting to see it for the first time, even if you have a weak stomach. 👍. Glad you've been assimilated into the Thing family.
