Director John Carpenter broke frozen ground with this milestone in special effects and gore, setting the bar for many horror remakes to come.

When an alien being begins killing off and assuming the identities of Antarctic scientists, it's up to rough and rugged R.J. MacReady (Kurt Russell) to battle the creature as well as his paranoid colleagues. Featuring mind-boggling practical special effects from Rob Bottin, and tension that can only be cut with a flame-thrower, The Thing is best viewed on the big screen with a crowd. Who knows, that stranger sitting next to you in the dark may not be who they seem…
