Even if you've already seen a movie before, take a moment and tell us what you think about it, what's good / bad / etc... I'd love to see more conversation around the films we share here.

MODERATORS
For anyone interested, the novella is very much worth reading.
It's pretty short, very creepy and paranoid, and you can clearly see where the movie themes come from.
The short story from The Thing's perspective is pretty good too.

I read that last time I was commenting on a thing thread maybe a year ago and someone linked to it, I did like it.
Whoever wrote it had to have read the original story because they both spend much more time exploring the inner world of the thing and it's nature than the movie do, this fan fiction entirely so.
That's also a solid read, nice link.
The novella -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who_Goes_There%3F
Does Wikipedia link to the novella now?
If not, I'd highly recommend finding a copy rather than reading the plot summary, it's a very involved story that is very impactful past its plot.
The plot also differs from the movie and is worth reading as a complete story on its own.
No, of course not. But nowhere else in this thread did we have the name of the novella so I thought it worthwhile to post that link here, in case anyone wants to follow your suggestion.
The name of the novella and author is in the body of your post.
Ahhh, I missed that. Thanks,
Sure thing, and good post. Seriously one of my favorite movies.
