You really think this is scary? I thought it was too, but then I read about it and found out the makers of the film used 5 gallons of KY jelly to give it that slimy look. Still think its scary? LOL
Great scene. I've always wondered how the director got the Thing-dog to walk and act like an alien dog. If you notice the dog acts like it doesn't know how to act like a dog when walking into the kennel. Genius!
Dog 3: You can just barge in here!! *all 3 growls at intruder dog* Dog/Thing: You Mutts Really Are Pathetic Waste of cellular structure.. Oh well.. I guess you 3 will have to do then.. * Dog Rapidly Mutates* *Face Splits Open* *Tentacles Break through back of Dog* *Thing Starts Assimilating Other Dogs*
The Thing did poorly with critics because it was too intense, too dark, too disturbing and too bleak. People in the 80's wanted feel good movies with happy endings. They wanted ET eating reeces pieces, not a dog transforming into an alien parasite. It was only later did people realize it's genius and quality as a horror film.
@cryptidclubleader well, its a outpost for meteorology, not a military operation. so in express, fire was likely used for welding operations and fuel, where they modified it for alien killing.

see the thing knows whats going on..but what i don't get is why dose it think it's in danger and needs to defend it self...thats what it dose when it becomes the forms it dose only when it is in danger,,,makes me think
Yeah, I learned that from one of the DVD featurettes. I was wondering for years why Winston got this credit and they revealed the reason. And you can't tell, well I couldn't.
Stan's work blended with Rob's seamlessly.
And Stan didn't even demand any sort of credit, he just wanted to help out Rob.
From what I know hearing about Stan Winston, we lost a great man AND a great artist when he passed away June 15. At least his work will remain.
I lost my DVD copy of the thing and couldn't put up all the other cool monster sequences. I'm getting another copy real soon so I'll bring you the other cool monsters!
For some reason [it may have been a crushing schedule] Rob Bottin needed help with this sequence, so Stan Winston came in to do the effects for this scene and he saved the day. Stan didn't even ask for a credit, but Carpenter gave him a special thanks in the end credits. Nice guy Stan, and now he's no longer with us. Great scene and thanks for posting!
Stan came in because of budget and time restrictions, you're right. And oddly enough with such a low budget Carpenter managed to make something so realistic. Carpenter, and Winston are great artists!
At first (before I watched the dvd) I didn't know they used a puppet 'stand-in' for Jed, like at 00:50, that was the puppet. And the scene where the alien starts breathing funny.
I remember seeing this when it premiered on TV. This was one of the few movies that made a lasting impression on me; if horror films where more universally accepted, it would have been equal to the Star Wars trilogy. For suspense, action, and special effects, this remake stood a head above everything else at the time.
the alien came to assimilate the population. it's purpose was to exterminate all life. when blair does the analysis of the cells the computer tells him that the entire world would be assimilated in 2 months or so.
it attacked the other ones so it could assimilate them. if you watch the movie again, macready sais later on that it wants to assimilate anything that threatens it. like it did with the norwegians, the dogs and everybody except mac and childs.
At outpost31dotcom, it says that it attacked because it was the middle of the night (although the way it was edited showed otherwise) when everything was calmed down. It started breathing louder, to me, that makes it look like it was preparing to attack anyways and the dogs started to pick up on it. They did nothing until it started breathing differently...
