As for the hybrid aproach, that's what they did for the prequel of The Thing, and I really liked it.

Has anyone seen The Millennium Bug (2011)? It's another no CGI movie that tries to recreate the campy (albeit classic) practical effects used in the old monster movies. The movie itself, of course, it completely outrageous and over the top, but if you watch it for monster alone, it's a fun film.
