The Thing Is...


...a strange intellectual carrot
A change from the text where like parrot
It mimics each crewman
A gimmick inhuman
Here it drains blood from necks like it's claret.

David Cairns



A young James Arness plays The Thing from Another World (Christian Nyby and Howard Hawks; 1951). The film's plot deviates from the source material, the 1938 novella "Who Goes There?" by John W. Campbell.
