Curiosidades
John Carpenter has stated that of all his films, this is his personal favorite.

Pifias
(at around 1h 20 mins) Although Fuchs has told them that the alien organism is highly infective, they don't care about sharing the same knife to get their blood samples.

Citas
Garry: [1:26:18] I know you gentlemen have been through a lot, but when you find the time, I'd rather not spend the rest of this winter TIED TO THIS FUCKING COUCH!

Créditos adicionales
The title of the movie is revealed in the same style as in El enigma de otro mundo (1951). The effect was achieved with a plastic bag placed on a stencil that was melted by a heat source placed below it.

Versiones alternativas
CBS edited 12 minutes from this film for its 1986 network television premiere.

Conexiones
Edited into Miedo helado (2001)

The Thing holds up better and better every year

The Thing does a great job at holding my attention throughout. It has just enough to gross me out while making me wonder if the person next to me is an alien.

The idea that this movie was made in the early 80s and it took years to be reevaluated before being well received just tells you how ahead of his time Carpenter is. Kurt Russell is one of my favorite actors from the pre2000s and this is a good example of why.

It's one of those special movies I can't get enough of. Every viewing feels like the first. I can't be the only one who feels the same amount of dread and uncertainty every time I watch it.
