So funny to see this pop up in my feed. Had the pleasure of showing a friend this movie for the first time and it was almost as fun as seeing it for the first time myself, especially during the defibrillator scene! This movie takes all of the ingredients for a good and engaging film, and weaves them together with the hand of an expert craftsman. From the writing, action, cinematography, practical effects, and more i can't list off, you get this feeling of authenticity. That the people who worked on the project genuinely cared, and put their love into their slice of production. Such a cool film, thank you for sharing!
9:45 Ennio Morricone did most of the score but John Carpenter and Alan Howarth did add a few additional tracks (the very beginning before we even see the space ship fly into frame, another when Bennings is burned, the next was when Fuchs was working on the blood test and was lured outside, and the last one when Mac and Nauls go to Mac's shack).
3:35 Except if Blair was The Thing. Think about it, Blair was really the only one who could have picked up the keys after Windows dropped them, the only one who could have gone to the cooling unit without being observed because everybody else was outside surrounding the Bennings-Thing. He (or it) was the only one who could have returned the keys to the store room before the men came back to clear out all of the bodies and remains to burn them. And, before all this started Fuchs told Mac that Blair had locked himself into his room and wouldn't answer the door. Wouldn't or Couldn't? Then he shows up after Bennings was dealt with and the contents of the Lab and Store Room are disposed of. Why would the Blair-Thing destory the radio equipment then? To prevent the sabotage blood from being discovered too soon.
15:02 Childs is The Thing at the end of the movie. After Mac, Garry and Nauls go to give Blair the blood test, but find an unfinished space ship instead, we cut back to the main building. It appears to be deserted. Childs was left guarding the door, but not only was he missing, the door has been left open for some time because there was snow accumulating on the coat room floor. But, we know that Childs had not left yet, because in the next scene Mac and Garry are preparing dynamite while Nauls was standing watch at the door. Nauls sees Childs leave by the main entrance just before the lights go out. Childs later tells MacReady the he thought he saw Blair and went out after him. Really? Is this the same Childs that wanted to leave MacReady outside just a few hours before? The same Childs that insisted that Mac had to be The Thing because; "Nothing human could have made it back here in this weather without a guideline"? But, all alone he thought he could chase someone out into a snowstorm? And, we know where Blair was at that moment; Under the building trashing the generator, which was where it later ambushed Garry and Nauls, and almost got MacReady. (P.S. The Thing wouldn't attack MacReady with the flamethrower because it would have known Mac was wearing a vest of dynamite under his coat. Also, rushing him would do no good because Mac had Garry's pistol and several flairs too. The Thing imitating a human wouldn't be fooled by a molotov cocktail because when it imitates something, it imitates it perfectly. Therefore, it would have taste buds that functions just like human taste buds. The same with the breath, a human is warmblooded, and if The Thing is imitating a human it would be warmblooded too).

Totally agreed on all fronts. Thanks for watching!

A classic
A Masterpiece
I like that you never really get a motive for the Thing.
My #1 movie from John Carpenter then Halloween
Same!
Average movie with below average CGI and too few dead dogs 🐕
Said no one ever
