I remember first seeing part of the 1982 version playing on pay TV at noon, while we where waiting for lunch to be ready. Obviously, we had to catch the part where the guy's head falls off and turns into a spider. No one was hungry that day and there were plenty of left overs, but I did want to see the whole movie and finally did a few weeks later. That was THE most horrific movie I had seen at that time. Now I can't wait to see this new one, but I agree that it looks more like a remake than a prequel.
That's something I learned very early on, definitely not a popcorn movie. The grossest part without question is the dog kennel scene.
Lesson 101#- Do not attempt to eat when watching John Carpenter's "The Thing". Of course I do have a close friend who has an iron stomach, there's very little out there that could make him loose his appetite, this movie could do it possibly.
