Doh! Just saw that the release date was 1982 in the US, not 1985 like I thought. I'm terrible with dates.
I'd forgotten about that. Yes, that was a nice tie in. One of the only thing that worked.
Same here. I went to see The Thing in the cinema in France either in 84 or 85. I had to show an ID to prove that I *really* was over eighteen. It scared the living day lights out of me. It is definitely at the top of my list of scariest movies I've ever seen. And that soundtrack is so creepy. Dum Dum, Dum Dum. I loved it then and love it still. I rewatch it every few years.
The two scenes that turn me into a quivering jelly of fear are: The dog in the kennel sitting so still before all Hell breaks lose. The blood testing scene. The tension is unbearable.
