  Carpenter said a year or 2 ago that he&apos;d be up for The Thing 2 and that it would answer the question from the end of the 1982 movie.<br>I took it as some sort of threat.

  Another adaptation of &quot;Who Goes There&quot; that is never mentioned but very good is &quot;Horror Express&quot; with Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing.

  My grandma watched The Thing (1982) with me and then told me about watching The Thing From Another World when she was younger ❤

  To me, John Carpenter&apos;s The Thing is the original even though I know it isn&apos;t, lol.

  I&apos;ve seen the original The Thing From Another World and John Carpenter&apos;s The Thing. Tbh, the original is actually really solid and stands out from many of its contemporaries. The remake by John Carpenter though is peak old school creature feature horror. It&apos;s one of those films that holds up now and probably will forever.

  The Thing has so much potential. Imagine that the film takes place in a time when Black Death was a pandemic and its revealed that it was the Thing👀

  They&apos;re actually 4 movies one is less known it&apos;s called Horror Express. Based on the same book who goes there with Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing it&apos;s very much the same concept only takes place on a train.

  What they managed with the dogs scene is breathtaking.

  Carpenter actually endorsed the game and considers it the canon follow up to the movie. Spoilers if you don’t want to know what happens, but it’s discovered that Childs died of hypothermia and MacReady survived throughout the entirety of the game confirming that neither of them were the Thing at the end of the movie.
