the strenght in The Thing is the excellent casting, well used crazy special creature effects, and a fantastic film score..

Yeah, it's a favorite of mine.
Carpenter is a master of suspense.

I love this film & the ending is too cool for words. Way Way ahead of its time.

sad that it was just mis-timed. it came out only a few months after ET and the general mood of the country was not receptive to a nihilistic splatter fest. carpenter says this film basically ended his major studio career. . . sad
