Scared the hell out of me. Saw it in '51. Can still see that hand caught in the door shooting crap from the fingers. The THING walking toward the humans and a track in the middle of the building. Geez still scares me to think about it and I'm 71 years old now.

When this movie came out, it was the scariest movie around. James Arness played the part of " The Thing ", his first role in the movies. Kenneth Tobey starred in the film. It concerns a spacecraft which crashed in the Artic and sank in the ice..when the attempt to uncover the flying saucer, it burned and exploded. The occupant was found buried in the ice and taken back to the Army Base.. Of course the ice melts, and mayhem ensues, and The Thing kills a few of the men, until they figure out a way to kill it. As I was 12 when this movie came out, there were scenes which scared the bejesus out of me. The movie is quite dated against the high tech scary stuff today, but it is one of the biggest classics of Science Fiction in the last 55 years or so.. See it if you can find it...
