But the genius guarding it, creeped out by looking at the humanoid’s face, covers the ice with an electric blanket and falls asleep. They carve out a block of ice containing the humanoid and take it back to study. The story takes place at a research station near the North Pole where a bunch of scientists, Air Force guys, and the requisite good-looking secretary make a startling discovery: a flying saucer buried in the ice, and a humanoid life form that apparently got out of the ship and was flash frozen nearby. Some of it can be attributed to the overdramatic weird music that accompanied so many 1950s films of this genre.
The film is a classic, and still has the chops to creep viewers out with its subtle buildup of terror. Thing 1 is based on a 1938 novella titled Who Goes There? by John W. And if you want to get technical, the 1982 version was promoted as John Carpenter’s: The Thing.
#THING ONE THING TWO MOVIE#
The late James Arness, he of Gunsmoke fame, played the wayward creature from space, and forever after the movie was referred to as simply, The Thing. But in truth the original bore the longer title of The Thing from Another World. Well, at least the majority of people think that the three films, from 1951, 1982, and 2011, have the same title. (I don’t even think there was a Thing 3.) It’s about three science fiction/horror movies that share a commonality of title, spread out over the unbelievable period of six decades. Nope, this post is not about characters created by Dr.
