“What is that thing?!” Yes, exactly. 😁

[@jlcutright0723]

"His head ate his face!" Priceless!

[@generalscheisskopf7435]

John Carpenter should take great satisfaction that the film everyone dismissed as "garbage" when it premiered is now considered one of the greatest sci-fi/horror films ever made. Forty-year-old practical effects rival the best CGI of today, enough to make Cam nearly puke on camera!

[@Mugthraka]

Its crazy to think that this movie din't do well or wasn't well received at the time. When you see the cult following and that this movie is pretty much become a case study for Atmospheric storytelling. Whats even more crazy is that it was pretty much the fate of All Carpenter's movies, i mean, Big trouble in Little china got the same fate, paned by critics, audiences din't know what the movie wanted to be. And years later did extremely well on the VHS and laser disc market and became a cult classic for fans and anyone who watches it todays...

[@MissFlow]

@@MugthrakaWell it had something to do with E.T and other fantasy esque movies that were coming out that same year (which had a véry different tone), and at the end of 1982 this movie suddenly came around the corner. People were simply not prepared for this and were shocked to the core. Most didn't even make it past the dog scene I heard.

[@LMarti13]

It's super rare for someone to realize that Blair is actually the most rational person on the base on first watch so props

[@shanechipman7157]

For years I’ve heard people debate whether Blair was already infected when he sabotaged everything or not and for years I’ve never been able to figure it out man lol Norris and Palmer are trackable but when does blair get infected? I NEED ANSWERS MAN LOL

[@bb21again.67]

No,I would go Fuchs,and I also think HE is The Thing at the end.Faked his own death,they found only glasses rims and a couple of rags and went and lay down in the snow to freeze because as MaCready said it "Just wants to go to sleep and waite to be found".

[@disturbed1013]

​@@shanechipman7157 While he was left alone. You see the noose. He probably wanted to hang himself when he was attacked. If he was infected before that, he wouldn't destroy the helicopter, he would've tried to blend in quietly, like Norris-thing and Palmer-thing did.

[@nicoleheppner6431]

​@shanechipman7157 I think he is infected, but not yet taken over. That's why he had a noose in the cabin he was locked in. He realized he was infected and planned to end himself, but the Thing took him over before he could do it. Then suddenly he was "Fine and want to rejoin the others."

[@joelabel8260]

​@shanechipman7157 although I dont think john carpenter or wilfred brimley thought about it, but maybe they did, when blair is explaining the results of the autopsy he touches his pencil eraser to the alien, then touches the eraser to his lips. There were many ways for him to become infected, but I have always liked the idea that it is shown in plain sight, and everyone sees it, including the audience, but they dont realize what they have seen.

[@josephmummerth]

all practical effects , no cgi ! this was real special effects art !

[@d4mdcykey]

_"His head ate his face!"_ LOL, easily one of the most entertaining reactions to this film I've seen.

[@kevinburton3948]

(Everyone watching "The Thing" for the first time)- NO DON'T KILL THE DOG! (20 minutes later) *OMFG KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!*

[@jimbearone]

When Blair was using the computer he figured out that if The Thing gets to a populated area the Entire World would be infected 27, 000 hours later just a little more than THREE YEARS.

[@SamBorgman]

It's fun to see young people reacting thinking that was a smart computer for the times. While Blair was doing the calculations and just typing in the results.

[@YolandaAnneBrown95726]

IKR? A 40 year old movie with practical effects that can still scare the shit out of people! The best compliment ever!

[@wackyvorlon]

What amazes me is just how badly the critics savaged it. This film was a massive failure both critically and at the box office.

[@strangebiped]

@@wackyvorlon And now in 2022 we know it's a MASTERPIECE OF HORROR by JOHN CARPENTER who got scared of the Original Movie when he saw it as a kid! And JAMES ARNESS (Marshall Dillion from the old TV Western Series; GUNSMOKE, ) was The Thing in the original movie.

[@paul1979uk2000]

@@wackyvorlon Yep, and apparently at the time, people wanted friendly aliens like E.T. over aliens like what the Thing had. Shame the movie didn't do well on release and probably because of timing, and overtime, became a cult classic that I remember far more than I remember E.T. I think what would have made this movie as well as the Predator movie better is if it didn't have the alien ship flying into earth at the start, it would have kept the audience in the dark and we wouldn't have a clue what was going on, but because of the alien part and how desperate he was to shoot that dog, I knew there was something up either with the dog or with him, if it wasn't for the alien bit at the start, we wouldn't have had a clue what was going on till the alien showed it's self, and that's when we throw up lol, which I do wonder how many did at the cinema lol.

[@joaoluizfonseca6914]

Bruh, the blood testing with the hot needle is PERFECT….. it’s exactly how you build suspense and tension….. and the whole sequence is completely disgusting, which is amazing. Btw, there is a mistake in that scene: when the Thing jumps to the ceiling, they shot that scene upside down, meaning, the ceiling was actually the floor, and inverted the take; you can see a piece of the ceiling giving it away as it bounces downwards and back to the ceiling, defying gravity😅

[@HEYitzED]

I love that despite how old this film is, the practical effects still freak people out.

[@LawNerd24]

That dog deserves an Academy Award. Cam was hilarious on this reaction.

Well, even you cannot speak Norwegian, the film does frame the dog as suspicious, albeit not almost immediately.

What would be really funny would be if he had been saying in Norwegian "Carpenter told me to run up and start yelling to you guys! He said it didn't matter what!"

[@robfuzz]

Carpenter's finest achievement and in general one of the finest directorial efforts ever, imo. What he accomplished here is so underappreciated. People just focus on the special effects but its got a smart script and incredible performances and unbelievable atmosphere,score,sound. Carpenter was a master chef here.

Best practical effects ever. The absolute peak. Checkout the fly movie from around the same time. It's a classic as well.

[@Al_NERi]

To me the character with the most tragic and compelling fate by far is Fuchs, even though he's not one of the major characters. We know little about him except that he's smart and conscientious (studying Blair's notes). Suddenly he's trapped outside in the storming night, alone except for... His choice- accept takeover and assimilation to The Thing, or die horribly of burning, clutching his flaming, sulphur spewing flare to his agonized body, and die in his humanity. A hellish, haunting fate that points to courage, quite unlike the splashy visual set pieces that attend the other characters kill scenes. It's all in the writing.

[@Sinnach87]

This is my favorite movie of all time so I love watching other people react to it. Every single person reacts the same way at the start with the dog, it's amazing 🤣🤣🤣🤣

This film was definitely a nightmare-maker when I first saw it in the 90s as a kid. It's great to see it still so effective all these years later. Well done, John Carpenter.

[@Whitebrowpriest]

The 2011 "The Thing" isn't a version of the 1982, or the 1951 "The Thing From Another World", it is actually a 'prequel' to the 1982 storyline, and set in the same year. It shows the event that led up to the Norwegians chasing the dog at the beginning of John Carpenter's The Thing.

[@haleycaldwell9543]

This was prosthetics. Way better than modern horror CGI.

[@josephmummerth]

[@Panzer4F2]

Even though it was an all star cast, I think that the Dog really gave the best performance. The hallway scene, where he pauses before going into "someone's" room was particularly great.

American Werewolf in London is another film with great practical fx.

[@Bluesit32]

The transformation is a thing of legend. Landis decided that the transformation would be utter agony and it shows.

[@livingcorpse5664]

Late response: The blood was practical, the "hand" holding the dish was fake and a puppet shoots out of the arm and dish for the blood monster effect. Amazing how we forgot how to do things practically after CGI came.

"The Making of The Thing" is a must watch documentary on YT. The interviews with the cast & crew are great.

Favorite moment? The dog face splitting open like a flower blooms. Edit: My favorite movie of all time, and Cam’s reaction to Dogtown was EVERYTHING I needed today.

[@relin6770]

The irony is that the 'thing' probably just wanted to go home.

[@lelaalexander6925]

The man responsible for the incredible practical affects is Rob Bottin. He was 22 when he filmed this and Carpenter gave him carte blanche on the design and build. His schedule was so rampant that he was hospitalized for pneumonia and physical exhaustion. And Bottin worked with Rick Baker on several films as well. Baker is the mind behind Amercian Werewolf in London.

[@delanopilkerton2836]

“His head ate his face”! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@evanirvana500]

Love your reaction. The practical effects in this is so much better than any cgi. There's a prequel to this also called the thing' which shows what happened in the Norwegian camp. It wasn't good but gives you more back story. This 1980 version is actually a remake itself from the 1950s horror set in Alaska. Theres never been a sequel but with renewed interest thanks to KZbin reactors like you and Google which chose this movie to comment on, John carpenter has said he'd be down to do it. So well see!

[@cdrw62]

I remember going to a theater to see this when it first came out. There were still lines to see "ET" which premiered 2 weeks earlier, while there were very few people in the theater with me to see "The Thing". America wanted cute aliens not scary ones. I spent the next month trying to convince my friends to see "The Thing", and the few who did thanked me. Forty plus years later and "The Thing" has a higher rating at IMDB than "ET" and is rightly considered one of the greatest Sci-Fi/Horror films ever. It also may be why we have another classic film. Tarantino was a huge fan of "The Thing" and set out to make a movie that emulated the relentless paranoia in "The Thing", which resulted in "Reservoir Dogs".

[@mikebell2112]

The flower thing that flies out of the dog before it gets torched is made out of dog tongues and teeth lol.

[@Mediawatcher2023]

the left person looks like his head is about to explode lol

[@RpTheHotrod]

If you watch the new The Thing that came out a few years ago, it's a prequel to this movie and is worth a watch. Not as great, but fills in some of the story and pays a lot of respect to the original. Sadly, the people in charge felt practical effects are too old-school and demanded CGI to be overplayed over the practical effects. :(

[@clarissa182]

I finally watched this movie for the first time a couple of months ago and literally about threw up 5 times. I barely got through it. I had to keep pausing and walking away. I had straight indigestion for days because it this movie. The practical effects were so good at being disgesting. Blergh. So I relate, Cam. lol

[@DoktorStrangelove]

I saw _The Thing_ on cable in May 1983 when I was 12. As much as I loved it, it scared the hell out of me. I didn't sleep much at all for the first few days after, and not especially well for about a week. I have a bit of paranoia about people, and trusting them. I had dreams about my neighbors being The Thing, and warning people to stay away from them and their pets. I had dreams like that into my early 20s. Easily the most terrifying monster ever depicted on screen.

[@PeterMaranci]

The spaceship WAS real - a practical model, lights and everything. You can find a video of it on KZbin. The blood was also real; they just tilted the floor it was on and the camera was attached. There was no CGI. The big Thing at the end was stop motion when it burst out of the floor.

[@Aeroldoth3]

For those interested, there's a short story written from the creature's perspective: The Things, by Peter Watts

[@gen81465]

And now for some movie recommendations. Mostly scary, some gruesome, all good: . Jaws (1975) - "You'll never go back in the water again." . Alien (1979) - "In space, no one can hear you scream." . Predator (1987) - Any movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jesse "The Body" Ventura can't be all bad. . Full Metal Jacket (1989) - "What is your major malfunction?!?!" The actor playing the drill sergeant (R. Lee Ermey) was a real Vietnam War era drill sergeant. His barracks "monologue" was very accurate. This one is along the same lines as "Hacksaw Ridge" . Paranormal Activity (2007) - After watching this, my friend Brandon (no relation to the "Let's Go, Brandon" guy) started sleeping with his .45 pistol under his pillow; as if you could shoot a ghost. . Event Horizon (1997) - "Infinite Space, Infinite Terror"

[@我主也]

YES I saw this literally one day before it was stuck by copyright 💀💀💀💀 this is one of my fav movies and your reaction is LITERALLY my favourite on youtube now

[@bigbadm1]

The Story was written in 1938 titled "Who Goes There?". The film they were watching with the people outlining the UFO was from a film called "The Thing" made in the 1950's with James Arness as the monster.

[@Whitebrowpriest]

You two should react to "Scanners" (1981), starring Michael Ironside. Amazing movie!!

[@TeeJayDesastron]

Did you notice that both of them drank from the same bottle in the end? Earlier they made it a point not to eat and drink from the same sources in order to not get infected that way. So, what does that mean? Are both of them infected? Is neither of them and they just didn't care with all the stress? Who knows. Also I love the fact that Blair, played awesomely by Wilford Brimley, became the "final boss" if you want to call it that way despite the fact that he was the first one who realized what had to be done in order to make sure the thing would not survive. He got infected while he was in the shed, possibly while he was eating when they asked him about Fuchs. Another thing is that the creature is not really a crew member of of the crashed ship. We learn that it carries memories from its' hosts from infection to infection so it is very likely that the crew also got infected at some point which led to the ship crashing. Well, actually you kind of get an answer to that in the making off of the prequel from 2011. They didn't put it in the movie but the things' first form is very different from what the aliens look like, which, as I said we do not get to see in the actual movie, which is the reason I am mentioning it as it is not an actual spoiler.

[@fairedepeche]

Kurt was playing chess in the beginning. Kurt handed his bottle to Childs in last scene, but they are not supposed to share. Childs drank. Kurt laughs. checkmate. Childs is the THING. Then Childs is not expelling frozen breath as Kurt does.

[@TeeJayDesastron]

OR MacReady was the thing and wanted to infect Childs. A drop of saliva in the bottle would have been enough. Checkmate as well. Also the thing was copying humans perfectly as Blair said. As long as the body was meant to be alive it would be breathing, meaning it too would have expelled frozen breath. Well, unless Childs just was just too much cooled down already, which, given the fact that he was outside for a longer time sounds rather likely. In the end the breath means nothing. The bottle means nothing. Each and every theory we come up with means nothing as nothing of it can ever be proven. Neither Carpenter nor anyone else who would know tells. So we will keep guessing till the end of time. And I think that's a good thing. Nevertheless...... it's still a lot of fun to keep guessing. Truth be told I don't think they ever made an actual decision if one of them is truly the thing or not. After all, if the answer doesn't even exist it cannot be found. And if it cannot be found the question will stay in the audiences mind. The movie is old but people are still talking about it as if it were new. @@fairedepeche

If you think The Thing was scary for the humans, imagine being the Thing and crashing in this place, freezing for eons, then being woken up and chased around by these maniac primates with flamethrowers. By the time it copied the guy with heart problems, and probably having no idea we could be so fragile (like what kind of a creature would be born with a heart that might stop?), no doubt it was thinking, "I just want to go home."

[@iangrant3615]

Probably worth flagging that when you see a movie that is earlier than late-1980s, effects that look real won't be CGI because they can't be, as CGI hadn't reached a point before the mid-80s where they could be incorporated into action in a convincing way (as computing power/software tools just weren't advanced enough yet). So other than doing things on-set with real practical models, makeup or prosthetics, the only option was either superimposing/optical camera effects (what you'd now call green screen) or stop-motion animation being composited into live action scenes.

They've already done a prequel with the 2011 The Thing, which covered the original discovery of the spaceship and the alien organism by the Norwegian escovation team. If they do decide to make a next installment, they should pattern it after the 2002 video game put out by Konami and Black Label Games. That story of that game was set to be held as the "sequel" to the 1982 film. The story focuses on Captain Blake, a member of a U.S. Special Forces team sent to the Antarctic outpost featured in the film to determine what has happened to the research team. Only to find himself caught in an invisible fight for survival against the titular shape-shifting alien, who seemingly has regained life despite being destroyed at the end of the film. Other survivors encountered and ordered by Blake assist the battle against the creatures different forms, all while being fully aware that they can trust no-one. I heard that John Carpenter himself personally endorsed the game, so there is high hopes that if they indeed make a sequel to the 1982 story, it will follow suit with the game's storyline. I played that game back when it came out in 2002, and I remember it was very scary, intense, nerve racking to play.

If you pay attention at the end when McReady and Childs are talking. Childs has no breath whereas McReady does. And he exhales a couple of times when he sees him just to test a theory.

so glad u guys enjoyed it. and im very glad i found your channel. its nice to see the younger generations appreciate practical special effects and especially when combined with a great story line. recently i found the three "Thing" movies in a box set at our local walmart. it included this one, the original 1951 version and the 2011 prequel. the original was completely different in that it was far less gory but still worth a view. just dont expect great special effects. the 2011 prequel was a decent story but they overused the CGi which felt like a let down. but it at least explains the dog being chased by the helicopter in the beginning of this one. you guys might want to take a look, if you havent already done so. i'm hoping to watch more of your reactions. you guys have definitely earned a subscribe and like!

Welcome to.... 1980s ..sci..fi..I saw this in the theater.The deus times square 42nd street before disney took over. You cannot imagine theater reactions. Absolutely bonkers! and insane!

[@jtoland2333]

Don't forget, the dog himself was already gone by the time that scene came around. His body was just a costume at that point. Also, there was NO CGI in the 80s. All of the effects were practical. I wish we would go back to doing that. CGI is so often boring and lacking creativity.

[@jonathanmoore9661]

Special effects in 80’s movies just hit different don’t they?

[@JoeSmith-v7o]

It's great when practical effects over forty years old still have the power to shock, disgust, and terrify.

[@Spadez86]

Funfact: If you wanna know which one of them was The Thing, look at their breath at the end.. only one of them had visible breath

[@RpTheHotrod]

This was disproven as you can see his breath in other shots at the end. It was just the lighting. However, there is a popular theory about the bottle being gasoline that he drinks which shows MacReady that the other is a Thing. In the end, Carpenter himself stated there's no clues at the end on if either is human or infected as it was intentional to be ambiguous. Not even Carpenter knew if either was infected because there was no answer. Later, it was confirmed that macready is human, as he has a cameo in the video game. Childs is still an unknown.

[@Keenergetic]

This movie is a pure brilliant! CLASSIC SCI-FI HORROR!

[@EiriYukisLover]

I love watching you guys videos. Especially for the older horror movies. It really shows that the effects and the atmosphere still holds up for so many of them. I am a huge horror fan and you guys remind me of when I first watched all these films.

[@jeremiahrose4681]

I watched this when it first came out at 11....loved it then loved it now and seen it many of times.

[@nathanfitzgerald6651]

I love it when you guys do horror movies because Cam gets the funniest expressions on his face when he gets grossed-out, lol!😂😂😂

[@juliemenzies6387]

Watched this last night, and not for the first time, always gives me the shivers

[@Blue-qr7qe]

Fear of the unknown operates all the way through this film. Even at the end: did they defeat it? Is it one of them? Did it escape? Will it freeze and take over a rescue crew and make it's way to civilization? It's left open as an unknown.

[@umage1]

Thanks for the reupload. You are not the only ones who had to to this with this film. If you want a slightly less bloody but awesome film, try Dog Soldiers(2002).

[@mindime1499]

Yes! I want more people to experience Dog Soldiers!

[@strangebiped]

@@mindime1499 Thanks Lady, it's good to see that Dog Soldiers gets talked about because of it's REALISM. Scary stuff when watching it at night!

[@jameshunt9208]

There is actually a canon sequel game that proves neither is infected, and both survive.

[@Deyonkersny]

Brilliantly explained and love your reaction.Rob bottin was the make up effect's artist and was 21 years old when he took on the project..

[@bicboyjoy]

I love the idea that if you watch this movie and know Norwegian, the plot is basically spoiled in the first few minutes

[@Si-Re444]

Liked watching this reaction to one of my favourite films. The breakdown at the end was on point. Watching how you reacted to some of the events in the movie was funny as😂

[@BobS-mv5fl]

One of my favorite horror movies. I watch it every Halloween. Between Cam getting grossed out (And for good reason!) and Zay having to pick his jaw up off the floor numerous times, this is one of my favorite reaction videos. You guys need to check out another SciFi/Gothic horror movie, Ridley Scott's Alien (1979).

[@Hank..]

I appreciate that someone else had the same reaction to the blood scene that I did. That scared the hell outta me the first time I saw it

[@jonathan.s993]

Cam you had dying with laughter when the dog transformed lolz.
