Watch The Thing Here: • The Thing
Horror-master, John Carpenter (Halloween, Escape from New York) teams Kurt Russell's outstanding performance with incredible visuals to build this chilling version of the classic The Thing. In the winter of 1982, a twelve-man research team at a remote Antarctic research station discovers an alien buried in the snow for over 100,000 years. Once unfrozen, the form-changing alien wreaks havoc, creates terror and becomes one of them.
I never liked the way that Doc pokes (or almost pokes) The Thing's corpse with the end of his pencil, then puts it close to his mouth...
I remember that was something I noticed in real time in theatre when I saw.
Judging from the shadow the pencil didn't touch it.
That's how he infected himself.
@@timorean320Are you talking about the theatrical release
I think you’re right it was very close who’s to say some microscopic peice of the thing didn’t end up on the eraser that’s why it took a while for him to change
"And those Norwegians blew it up."
"Swedes, Mac."
"Yeah yeah whatever."
I was thinking the same thing. Norwegians. LOL
Dude its the other Way arround😂
@@danishlycan2614 yeah yeah, whatever.
This doubly hilarious given the history of wars between Norway and Sweden and the likelihood that at least some of the characters including Mac are probably of Swedish and/or Norwegian descent.
Long time since that. Norway left the union with Sweden without war in 1905.
It's a bummer that this movie bombed at the box office running against E.T.: The Extraterrestrial of all movies. This is the greatest horror movie of all time, and John Carpenter's best film to date.
E.T. sucked.
100%!! I remember watching this movie by accident as a kid. I thought the title "The Thing" was so ridiculous and never even heard of it. By the end of it, I was just in a state of disbelief.
@@Banana_Split_Cream_Buns Well, they had the potential to do a good prequel with that shitshow they released in 2011 with Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Instead those ding dongs dropped the ball like a Cleveland Browns offensive line.
ET was huge at the time, there was merchandise everywhere.
Yes, it permanently damaged John Carpenter's reputation. But it had the last laugh in the end when it gained release on video to ultimately become recognised as a true classic...
Once Clark told Blair that the dog wasn’t put in the kennel until that night you can tell Blair had fear in his eyes. I think he knew right then and there that it was the beginning of the end!
That's how Blair was infected. They didn't know how one cell of the creature could take over and begin to imitate a human.
It can't. We see in the computer scene a single cell is only able to consume a single uninfected cell. It can't spread and take over an entire organism that way, otherwise it could infect everyone through tampering with the ventilation system, or by just spitting on everyone.
And he did look at the simulation later, showing exactly that. Could you imagine figuring out that you likely infected yourself, and that bit by bit, your cells are being converted, and when enough have, you're just done? The implications of this monster creep me the hell out.
No, the director confirmed this is not true. It's just a thing the actor did.
@@squirrel-1969 I love this movie it's part of my DNA 🧬
@@sonoftheway3528considering Blair goes on to destroy the Helicopter and communication out of the outpost in a bid to stop the thing from escaping I’m surprised how many people think Blair was infected so early, he wouldn’t trap the thing in the middle of the arctic if he had already been assimilated, that’s completely counterproductive to the things goals
I always laughed when they had Blair locked up and he says "watch Clark" with that look in his eyes😂 aint no way y'all having me confined with the thing running around and can practically come out anywhere😂
“The Thing” is a Christmas movie and I’m tired of pretending it’s not
HERE HERE
Lol. Can't argue with that.
After watching lot of movies from live gore sites The Thing is now a very good comedy made with finesse for me now. But you're right its a Christmas movie haha
I didn't see a tree.
How?
Man this film is delightfully terrifying, one of my favourite horror films!!!!
Sci-fi horror*
@@nocturnalrecluse1216 Nerd alert

@ Time to get back in the locker, nerdturnalrecluse
This movie was amazing. The sequel/prequel wasn't the best i'd ever seen, but not the worst. However, playing "Who can it be now" by men at work in the beginning was some of the best unintentionally comedic foreshadowing i've ever seen.
Indeed. Considering the original story was entitled "Who Goes There". 😂
If this alien was able to escape into civilization, no chance against it.
We'd be fucked😂
Anything biological will definitely be comverted, imagine if it reached a large forest?
Two words that will scare any epidemiologist when put together:
Airborne
Rabies
The fact that you have to kill every cell of the thing…. Is daunting for Man….
It was a new type of virus...
The atomic bomb would like to say hello
SCP-610.
That's why its so fortunate it landed in the arctic where it's cells can at least freeze can you imagine if it landed in a tropical region where it has access to an abundance of life? Imagine a flock of birds or a swarm of mosquitoes being infected by the thing.
@@Lunk42 Agreed. Everything from Redwood trees to earthworms, from blue whales to bacteria, even the pollen of flowers would become the Thing. And they'd all have at least the same intelligence as humans and the aliens who built the crashed spaceship...
It might just be my headphones being really sensitive, but I had never noticed the subtle sound of the wind howling thru the walls of the base until today...
Just noticed that too, very cool with how much detail went into this!
Just this never ending spooky howling.
0:22 "This for instance, thats not dog,.... thats Diabeetus" (;
Same voice😂😂😂you nailed it
Cannot reconize him without the mustache
@@alf3707you mean that’s really him? lol I thought it was just a guy who sounded like him, that’s how unrecognizable he is without it.
And then he comes in rideing a horse and saves the day with did you know about dibedis 😂😂😂😂😂
“Pee hole skiiin!”
🎼 Uh, feelings!
Uh, feelings!
Uh, feelings!

Why is a doctor licking biopsy material 😂
Is that what they taught in med school back in the days?
I love how blair thing wants to create a new spaceship
The alien spacecraft looks like the millennium falcon
No. That's the Baltic Sea Anomaly.
Great movie seen it when I was a kid scared the shit out of me
Same
6 or 7 at the time
@@klauskeast9475 Where the hell were you guys parents?
@@Teufer2 I saw Alien when I was eight. Tricked my parents into letting me watch it.
@@rocketassistedgoat1079 Ah, the good old times before the Internet. Were you could bullshit people and they had no way to confirm if it was bullshit or not.
@@Teufer2 I lied through my teeth to watch it for a week beforehand. With Aliens, I told my grandparents whatever they wanted to hear for two weeks beforehand...'till I got to see it.
Know what it meant to say is at the beginning of the video the guy took the pencil with Eraser tip and touch the creature then he put it touches his mouth
The thing had diabetus
People keep saying this but I don't know what this means?
Wilfred brimley aka the guy from the diabetes commercial plays dr blair in this movie @mamster233
Wilfred brimley aka the diabetus guy plays dr blair
It needed some fruity bustard in it's diet.
Where did this happen and has the Thing been contained?
Masterpiece movie
0:23 😢😢😢
Thing is, Kurt Russell and David Keith are still Alive... I would love to see a Sequel.
Carpenter is still alive too! If not Directed by him he could write or co-write a script with someone like Guillermo Del Toro... Just an idea!
Russell is wearing Mongo’s hat from Blazing Saddles.
He is but only pawn in game of life
Those two were still human, because the dog was calm.
The Thing's capacity to imitate organisms is almost perfect. It would fool the dogs too. The dogs only began to react to the Thing when it began transforming.
This isn't The Terminator.
I feel like the dogs knew immediately which is why the thing transformed cause it knew the jig was up@@xxfalconarasxx5659
In fact it was before it started. Dogs sensed or smelled the inner chemistry of the thing seconds before it opened itself
I never see anybody talk about the origin of the Thing! What if the thing got a hold of that ship from another alien lifeform who explored an alien planet and then got infected by the thing🤷🏻♂️
That's almost certainly what did happen. Very possibly explorers/prospectors of an intelligent and comparatively benign race touched down on a planet where this viral organism was indigenous and one or more of them got infected. They may well have had a host of living interplanetary specimens on board and this organism took them all after lift off. And after all, that's what happened to HG Wells' Martians when they landed on Earth...
It actually was attacking the crew of the alien ship.
A stowaway!
It was Russell the entire time, he was the thing but a more smarter cell of it. There was another but it was just rampaging around causing a scene which Russels thing saw as a weakness.
There are so many moments in the movie where he is suspect as all can be
If you are refering to Kurt Russel's character we know he was human up to at least the blood test , his blood does not react to the hot piece of wire/metal .
@Shadowman820 yeah was it not his idea to do that test as well? I feel like he orchestrated the whole affair knowing to not react to his blood
@@arthuxxnuke97 I don't see how he could do that as the test clearly detected that Palmer was a thing .
One of the movies I watched hundreds of times when I was 12-14 yo following Batman with Jack Nicolson, Paul's Verhoeven Robocop, Steven Spilberg Schindler's List. My mother stole and hide those VHS cassette from me to prevent watching them again and again :):):) It's better to watch one good movie hundreds of times than watch hundred poor movies.
Oh my god this is the diabeetus guy
Blair at this moment is very likely already an imitation.
Based on what? He probably turned while he was in isolation
Nah, it infects himewhen he touches the pencil eraser to his lip.
There has been a lot of analysis on who assimilated who and it's agreed that Blair was assimilated while he was quarantined. Likely by Palmer or Norris during a wellness check or food delivery.
@@jp9403Real question is, how long does it take til body has been taken over
@@jp9403director confirmed this was an actor thing didn’t actually affect the story
That guy's nasty how is charges that thing and then puts it to his mouth
Checking for diabeetis.
Wait is that old guy the diabeetus guy from the commercials?
@@ladistar Fraid so.
@@ladistar yes sir, good ole Wilford Brimley.
So is Norris the thing at this point? If so he would have had the perfect time to infect McCready and the Doc.
Yea he’s the first one. When the dog goes into the room with that shadow of a man, it’s supposed to be Norris but the director changed the figure to be another person so it won’t be too obvious that it’s Norris.
@@wongyikai2126Norris-Blair-bennings-Fuchs (if that counts) - and Palmer in that order
@@chasiekcorb4209 I don’t think Fuchs count because when we see him, he’s just a charred corpse. Fuchs likely burnt himself to prevent assimilation
@@chasiekcorb4209Blair was still human when he smashed the helicopter and radio.
He could get one, but that would alert the other. Which blows his cover and ends with him being fried. The Thing much prefers to isolate a target before attempting assimilation, like what Blair-Thing did with Garry and Nauls.
Why the eff would you put an alien substance to your mouth? I don't think Doc is a real doctor.
When they brought the thing in the steam coming off of it the water molecules would have infected very one in the room.
I think the Thing has to recover from extreme heat in order to "activate" its cells.
Where it plays possum while its biomass reconstitutes.
Perhaps steam coming from a freshly burned Thing would just contain dead cells.
Dude literally put the alien juice pencil up his lips while he is explaining how the alien can imitate living thing around them. My guy, you need to get your medical license revoked because of that stupid move.
😮
And THIS is where Diabeetus appears in the film to take over the world........
Diabeetus...
0:11 да, да, прямо в рот. Молодец.
Blair got infected during autopsy, in my opinion
It’s the only way it could have happened
He was 💯 infected between when he was locked up and the blood twst
@@smackey1099 no. Nobody reached him during that time.
@@jameszack7158 nah,it’s canon that Palmer or Norris went to feed them
@@jameszack7158 him*
1:20 How long were you alone with that dog?
I dont know....about "caNINE" hours maybe.
Guy's I have a Theory that MacReady was The Thing too but the perfect asimilation. Why The Blair Thing didnt attacked Mac Ready and stopped in front of him? Probably sensed he is The Thing too. Also The Blair Thing took only the detonator and showed up from the underground and started probably cursing in alien language at Mac Ready maybe something like: Look at me! Im almost perfect! dont destroy me! As we know the Thing can only be one, the perfect one. And Mac Ready replies yeah and fck you too! When Norris Thing splits Mac Ready pretends that he doesn't see that spider head thing only Palmer thing points it to secure himself in human eyes. Later when we see blood tests we don't see Mac Ready finger injury after cutting himself for blood test? He exposed Palmer thing because it wasnt perfect asimilation yet. Also when the movie starts, dog thing licks Bennings. Mac Ready gives his drink to Bennings. Bennigs drinks later Mac Ready drinks and later when Blair is separated Mac Ready is drinking from Blair's bottle. Bennigs thing didnt had perfect arms, Norris thing had heart attack, Palmer thing had to be exposed for greater purposes of the evolution, and Blair thing got destroyed because there can only be one perfect asimilation which was Mac Ready also giving bottle to Childs at the end.
I’m surprised that Dr. Blair didn’t check for diabetes.
Now they can let John Carpenter do whatever he wants now.
Why is Kurt Russell wearing a stupid sombrero in Antarctica?
He asked the same question. It was a prop that Carpenter put in his dressing room...
This Thing replicates diabeetus
Has he always been that bad of an actor?
Not sure why they roped down to the ship. Land on it with the helicopter. Oh well.....
After all these years, i still dont know who is the third person in the chopper with MacReady and Norris.
Copper.
