      Every time I say “space camp” my husky howls. Every time I say “MacCready” she starts sprouting tentacles and her stomach opens up into a huge mouth and she lets out this weird ass fucking sound. It’s pretty funny.

    I brought it inside, but now it’s going crazy and jumping all over the furniture; even on my lap when I least expect it.

    Here’s a picture of it in the act.

    You couldn’t make this movie today. That’s because the alien would just walk around in a bathrobe, tentacles and ribs sticking out everywhere. When challenged, it would just say:

    “Oh, I guess that anybody who has different opinion about which biomass ought to consume which is a “MONSTER” now? So much for the tolerant left!”

      The movie was a total bomb back in the day. There’s a review saying that it’s even worse than Blade Runner (which came out on the same day and was also intensely disliked). It almost destroyed Carpenter’s carrier. They hated it so much they nominated fucking Morricone for a Razzie (some unused tracks were later used by Tarantino in The Hateful Eight and won an Oscar…).

        Carrier has arrived.

        Also surprising to hear.

      As soon as you accused it, it would announce that it was running for president, delay judgement for four years, win, and then spread the infection worldwide.

    I don’t know what the deal is with all the Thing stuff I’ve been seeing, but there’s a pretty fun (but REALLY broken and VERY laggy!) game called Nuclear Nightmare based on The Thing if you really want to simulate bringing in the Thing into your house

      There’s an official The Thing game that has gotten a remaster that will be releasing soon. If it hasn’t already come out and I just missed it.
