Scarecrow Video Presents Flying Saucer Cinema: The Thing from Another World (1951)

Online Film Discussion

Part of the Flying Saucer Cinema Series

Scientists at an Arctic research station discover a spacecraft buried in the ice. Upon closer examination, they discover the frozen pilot. All hell breaks loose when they take him back to their station and he is accidentally thawed out! Based on the short story “Who Goes There?” by Joseph Campbell, this highly regarded classic by one of Hollywood’s greatest directors set the standard for decades. In 1982 it was remade by John Carpenter into a modern masterpiece – simply as The Thing – worthy of the original.
