Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Thing stands as a high watermark (or low one, depending on your sensibilities) in film making history. A campy blend of science fiction and horror, this fear-fest has invited both critical disdain and adulation, and sparked a cult following. Based on John Campbell novel about a shape-shifting alien that wreaks havoc in the frozen wilds of Alaska, the original film was produced in 1951. The remake followed in 1982. With plot details, production notes, and biographical sketches of directors and casts, this book will both engross you and gross you out.
