Desolation (Main Theme) - Ennio Morricone - The Thing OST Deluxe Remastered (1982)

[@Lich137]

I amac ready for this.

[@garrettgermany3155]

Hey we all wanna know what planet u from ? Sorry ur ufo got stuck in ice !!! Lol

[@TheJoeyKnoxville]

Might be the best horror movie ever made in my book. It has isolation. Nobody can help them from the outside. It has paranoia. Can't trust nobody, not even yourself. It has frightening scenes with fantastic special effects. It has suspense and slow pace when it needs to. The atmosphere is amazing, unnerving and chilling, helped by the soundtrack. It's dark and doesn't have a happy ending. I also love that it's very Lovecraftian: There's this mysterious being nobody can explain, we don't know how it truly looks like, and there's nothing the characters can do to stop it. Man, I love this movie. Sad it wasn't so accepted back in the day as it is today.

[@bobm8106]

the hatefull eight is inspired by this

[@alexandremichaud8491]

What I love about the thing is that if it was real it could be *among us* at the moment

[@thomasharker6097]

I like the ambiguity, it's not fully explained, nor does it need to be - like the first Alien film. Your imagination is more powerful than anything else.

[@FreshMilch]

I agree 😁👍

[@mrneutral8423]

The bleak landscape and the lives of only a few men act as the ONLY buffer between the Thing and humanity.

[@loonie5468]

If there's ever a nation that forms on Antarctica, this really should be its national anthem.

[@francytomassetti1828]

I hope that never happens

[@BackOfBeyondbyLiamUiBhriain]

What I find so chilling about this piece is that for the first 25 seconds it is one solitary note. The note is like a heartbeat and then it is joined by another, but different, an alien heartbeat. The two continue through together until the end. One does not take over the other, it blends with it. Like this piece of music itself is a representation of The Thing hiding within a man.

[@necrosunderground]

Part of the reason for that comes from an early idea that the Thing could be identified by its heartbeat, which never changed pace, no matter what it was doing physically. That was going to be how they tested each other, but it ended up being scrapped for the blood test.

[@Modern_Diogenes]

Never though about that but yeah it's... scary.

[@thurmanbaseballfuriesleade4302]

Imagine being isolated in the freezing cold thousands of miles from any major population trying to survive against something not from this world

[@livingcorpse5664]

And you can't even trust your friends and co-workers.

[@iaindunbar1578]

11 months later... bloody too right I can

[@IamPinhead]

Minnesota isn't that bad.

[@RICHARD41130]

Imagine being on another planet without any creatures of the same species and you have to survive in an isolated base surrounded by unknown beings

[@WickedPrince3D]

That's part of why this is my favorite horror movie of all time. You are totally isolated with no chance at help and you don't know who you can trust. The THING is so insidious that after watching the movie at least 100 times I am still not sure if McReady or Childs was infected. :)

[@mujesiraatlagic7594]

I love how the alien in the movie is really alien. By the way it mimics other intelligent organisms, it is obvious that it's a sentient being but a completely alien intelligence incomprehensible to humans. There is no possibility for contact, understanding or covenant between it and man. Truly a Thing.

[@ROBLOX-1gv7ej2j]

Be careful don't ever touch those islands I don't know if They are contaminated

[@daustin8888]

Its Lovecraftian

[@r.uthere.6201]

I was 11 years old when I saw this, my Father said “ET is for babies, you a baby?” Me and my little sister who was 10 both said “No!” “Ok we are going to see a movie called The Thing, based off an old SF book”~ my father said. I was literally a little worried because I knew my dad still liked watching Black and White movie’s. We sat down middle of the Theater, the Helicopter comes chasing this beautiful Husky dog…. I left that Movie with a new appreciation for true horror. Best Movie I ever saw! Can’t say the same for my little sister who screamed so loudly when the CPR scene happened 😂

[@beans5307]

That's awesome!

[@danielmarshall4587]

[@MrCrystalm8]

The dogs in the movie were the real mvp's, if they didn't bark loudly when the thing was transforming the first time then the humans would not have been alerted and the movie would have turned out very differently

[@PhelippeMitsu98]

They were loyal and courageous till the end

[@LaughterChief]

@@iaindunbar1578 tbh in the game, childs died due to hypothermia and mcready saves the main protagonist. the game is like the unofficial official sequel

[@proudhunter85dirty]

You're right. That is seriously no human heartbeat. Downright horrific.

[@necrosunderground]

There is one jump scare in this movie. It is probably the single most effective jump scare in film history.

[@jeanmichel8919]

Ah yeah the blood scene.

[@thomasharker6097]

I'm not sure I'd cheapen it by categorising it as a 'jump scare' - you *know* it's coming, but the tension is regulated so well it still scares you. These comment sections are always the most classy on youtube. Well done chaps.

[@livingbeing1113]

Actually four if i remember correctly, the blood test, Blair-Thing appearing behind Garry, the dogs jumping out of the kennel and the figure in the dark passing in front of Fuchs with a lighter. All done perfectly.

[@chakrapanigautam2519]

I call these guys in the Thing as true superheros. The Marvel/DC-thing has now become all bullshit when I saw this movie. These guys saved the earth from possible extinction by giving their lives. What a beautiful scary story this was!

[@velahtielredfang9417]

Well considering the ambiguity of the ending (and if we take the comics into account as well) there's entirely the chance that their efforts are in vain.

[@travoedoi]

[@Arandomgmodanimator.-xf6bk]

Picture this. Winter, 1982, Antarctica. A Helicopter of the United States Marine Corps is flying in the Arctic, seemingly to investigate Research Outpost North 31, which went silent. Out of the 12 crew, there were only two bodies found, the Mechanic and the Helicopter pilot, was Pilot was freezing, but alive, he was identified as R.J. MacReady. The Mechanic, named Childs, was not alive, he died of hypothermia, MacReady was rushed to the Marine Helicopter and took off, leaving the rest of the Marines to investigate the Outpost. Imagine that with this music. Also, here, in this fanfic, both Childs and MacReady are human.

Ennio Morricone is one of my favorite composers, but how is this not a John Carpenter composition? I love John Carpenter's scores just as much and this has always confused me....

[@marcosdesouzadias1658]

Mi two.

[@zekebeckman]

I think both of them worked on it. In what manner, I don't know.

[@Jessperado]

It's my understanding that Ennio never got to see a final version of the film to sit and session over, so he composed a bunch of themes and variations. Carpenter used this very one as the main piece and then filled in the gaps where Ennio couldn't. Carpenter basically just followed Ennio's lead (some of the unused themes from this movie are in The Hateful Eight!)

[@horrorfanandy4647]

@@Jessperado Ennio never watched the films before he scored them, he read the script and composed pieces based on that. Sergio Leone had the score to For a Few Dollars More before he began shooting, he would play it on set to get the actors in the mood. This is why Carpenter rescored bits and pieces of The Thing, a lot of Morricone's contributions just didn't work.
