Blair didn't exactly go crazy, he was simply the first one to realize what grave danger not only the camp but all of humankind was in. "Nobody gets in and outta here! Nobody!" He knew if the Thing reached civilization it was over, so he destroyed the chopper, the radio, killed the dogs. He was not infected when they first put him in the shed and later on we see the noose he fashioned to kill himself. But by the time they went back out to talk to him again, he is infected and no longer wants to kill himself. He says he is fine and wants to go back in. He has no concerns any more about the Thing because he is one, as we later find out.

That’s quite eerie and amazing writing

Masterpiece of horror movies! These gentlemen have great taste!

It seems to be a consensus in the worldwide reactions to this movie, 'Don't shoot the dog!!'

Such a great score composed by Ennio Morricone, John Carpenter and Alan Howarth.

This is adapted from a story called 'Who Goes There?' by John Campbell, written in the 1930s, so it's even more ahead of it's time than you knew.

Great stuff guys. No joke, it's awesome to see someone just casually blasting cigs during a movie reaction lol honestly it's refreshing. Every movie reaction channel is some Gen z kid with a pink/ purple/ blue light behind them and they get old fast. This is way better. I will def follow this channel now. Cheers!

Interesting Facts: Norris (the guy who’s chest bursts open, chopping off the doctor’s hands with its bear-trap teeth) had a bad heart, and when the Thing took him over and perfectly imitated him, it also faithfully recreated his heart defect, which eventually caused Norris to suffer a heart attack for real during a high-stress moment. The Thing would have been happy to hide itself in a presumably “dead” body, but it couldn’t tolerate the electro-shocks from the defibrillator and was thus forced to reveal itself. (Incidentally, at the beginning of the movie, the spaceship was flying erratically because the crew was desperately trying to fight off the Things that were aboard their vessel and causing havoc. That’s why the spaceship attempted to make an emergency landing on the nearest planet and ended up crash landing in the Antarctic. Only one of the Things as survived the crash and made it out of the ship alive, only to freeze in the ice.)

I like the framing you're doing for this reaction. It feels natural. Well done.

My favorite horror movie. I cant think of a worse scenario to find yourself in. Youre battling an intelligent enemy, you dont know if its malicious or simply trying to survive, if it touches you...youre dead, its almost impossible to detect, it can only be killed with fire/acid and if it gets to water or transportation its not just the end of humans but THE ENTIRE WORLD. Every Winter when the wind howls i think of this movie. It inspired me to get a flamethrower cause...you never know 😅

I saw this movie during it's first run in theaters in 1982. Graphic, gory, horror films were pretty common back then but I remember being fascinated with the creativity and execution of the effects in The Thing, and thinking they had taken the art to another level.

MrCready was the thing. You see how he drunk from that bottle and left it there for Blair to drink after him? Why would he do that? To infect Blair?

The thing prequel from 2011 is definitely worth a watch , i recommended it!

the norwegian base was actually the american base this part was filmed last @3:30

I just found your channel...subbed immediately when he able to calculate hours to days instantly...completely old school...great reaction of a great movie 👍

The only CGI that was used for this movie was the exhaust on the alien space ship at he beginning of the movie. The space ship miniature was built from scratch piece by piece. John Carpenter said he'd made it clear who was the thing at the end of the movie. When Childs and MacReady were talking to each other the only one who had frost/moisture coming out of his mouth was MacReady. How can any human not produce mist from their mouth in minus 50 below zero?

The template for this film title: “The Thing from Another World” from 1951 b/w by Howard Hawks is highly recommended. The focus is not on horror effects but on the question "what is this thing" with a very interesting explanation. A very, very good film. A film is extremely exciting even without spiky blood, or precisely because without it.

It didn't escape the kennel. You see it fall back down after getting torched. It was just pulling itself up for a better defensive position

Nice reaction guys! "The Thing" (2011) is the prequal, following the story from when the Norwegians find the spaceship. Pretty good film. One question: how does a man cut his left wrist, with the blade in his left hand?

You guys were great!

40 years and this film is no less shocking than it was when it came out. If you want 'practical effects' this is still the benchmark. The prequel is not worth your time. Nobody could recreate this film.

@@myegyptiandadreacts4824 The strange thing about these John Carpenter films is that they were not always popular with the general audience. They were too strange for most people. The box office for The Thing was not that good, although not a flop. It was later this became a classic and continues to be so. Rob Bottin went on to do effects for RoboCop and Total Recall. If you haven't seen RoboCop, you should put it on your list. Epic action and explosive violence :)

The creature has its limits. It has to consume in order to replicate. So, it probably needs to consume a mass equal to what it's replicating. And it must consume, it has no choice, it must do so to survive, unless it's frozen. Therefore, it probably does so out of reflex, automatically.

Be sure to watch John Carpenter's 1st masterpiece, John Carpenter's Halloween (1978)

“The Thing” is suspicion, mistrust, and paranoia personified! It is the story of desperate men, isolated and hopelessly trapped in the middle of nowhere, caught up in a terrifying life-and-death battle with an inhuman enemy, in which the fate of the entire world hangs in the balance. What would you do?

The first moral from this movie is, ''If you see a couple of guys in a helicopter, shooting at a dog, shoot the damned dog, then worry about the guys in the helicopter!''

Non Norwegians miss out on the start. Meant to be so I suppose from the director. But, the Norwegians are screaming, "THAT IS NOT A DOG. IT IS A... THING" So Norwegians got a bit spoiled watching this.

The Thing and its prequel both are horror stories of hollywood. This one failed at the box office and was butcchered by audiences at the time, largely because of the gore. While the prequel initially had incredible practical effects but was ravaged by studio interference. Im scared what would happen if they ever made a third.

This is a remake. The original is a 1951 old style monster movie but they are all based on the 1938 book Who Goes There? The book is a metaphor for the spread and fear of communism.
