The Thing is a 1982 American science fiction horror film directed by John Carpenter from a screenplay by Bill Lancaster. Based on the 1938 John W. Campbell Jr. novella Who Goes There?.
The film stars Kurt Russell as the team’s helicopter pilot R.J. MacReady, with A. Wilford Brimley, T. K. Carter, David Clennon, Keith David, Richard Dysart, Charles Hallahan, Peter Maloney, Richard Masur, Donald Moffat, Joel Polis, and Thomas G. Waites in supporting roles.
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.
