  The prequel <b>was</b> practical effects, but the studio made them cover most of them up with CGI because it &quot;looked like an 80&apos;s movie&quot;. The writer says it broke his heart and the director regrets going along with it.

  EVERY reaction of The Thing starts off with<br>&quot;They better not hurt that puppy!!!&quot;<br>and quickly becomes<br>&quot;BURN IT WITH FIRE!&quot;

  Fun fact: The silhouette in the beginning with the dog is actually played a random crew member, not one of the actors. John Carpenter purposefully didn&apos;t want the audience to be able to guess who it was based on their silhouette.

  Fun fact: All of the creature work - the puppets, the animatronics, the prosthetics, all of the goo - was masterminded by a single guy. And this was his first movie. Talk about a strong start. Something else: It&apos;s not like this is a secret or a behind the scenes thing, it&apos;s just something that people often don&apos;t realize while they&apos;re watching, but this movie has no B plot. No B plot, no subplots, no romance. The characters don&apos;t even have first names. Maccreedy gets initials (R.J.), but none of the rest even have that much. It&apos;s all one single main plot all the way through. Just all paranoia and tension interspersed with extreme gory violence.

  MacReady destroying the chess computer is foreshadowing how he’ll break the game if he can’t win (even if the computer cheated) He’d rather blow up the entire camp, taking the thing down with him rather than continuing trying to fight the thing on even terms

  My girl friend is swedish, speaks swedish and norwegian. &nbsp;This movie was no surprise. &nbsp;She knew right from the beginning. &nbsp;As Blind Wave points out... &nbsp;The guy gets off the helicopter and yells &quot;Get the hell away! It&apos;s not a dog, it&apos;s some sort of thing! It&apos;s imitating a dog, it isn&apos;t real! GET AWAY, YOU IDIOTS!&quot; &nbsp;It was a big spoiler.

  A while back Eric mentioned he had never seen this and I&apos;ve been waiting for a reaction ever since. I was not disappointed.

  Fun Fact: The Dog who plays the Dog-Thing was named Jed. &nbsp;Jed is well known for this role, and also went on to play the titular White Fang in the 1991 film along side Ethan Hawke and in the sequel White Fang 2: Myth of the White Wolf. &nbsp; He was a Vancouver Island wolf-Alaskan Malamute hybrid.<br><br>Also Fun Fact: The exterior scenes were filmed in Stewart, British Columbia while the interiors were filmed on the backlot of Universal Studios. &nbsp;In fact, fans who have made the trek up to the filming location where the exteriors of Outpost 31 was filmed have found bits and pieces of remains of the set from when they blew up the exterior at the end. &nbsp;One person even found pieces of the helicopter at the start of the film.

  I love that, if you understand any Norwegian at all, the guy shouting at the start spoils the entire twist right away.

  &quot;Watch Clark. And watch him close.&quot; This movie creates an intense atmosphere of paranoid suspicion like no other film. Just love it. &apos;Invasion of the Body Snatchers&apos; is the only other movie that even comes close.
