We say: John Carpenter’s cult classic closely resembled Howard Hawks’ Cold War-era masterpiece, but gruesome special effects helped add a welcome dose of horror to the original’s eerie paranoia. I love to imagine the terrified moviegoer who errantly wandered into The Thing instead of E.T., which ironically opened to wider acclaim two weeks earlier.
