Hey Sweden!

Video games, movies and serial killers are my obsession, not a good one that's for sure, but I still find them rather fascinating.

However, John Carpenter's The Thing tops all of them. Can't get enough of it!

This blog is dedicated to all of them, enjoy!

Deleted Scenes- 
 
Mac and Nauls Check Mac’s Shack
This is a very rare shot.  You won’t find this picture anywhere except here on Outpost #31!  We’ve been able to determine with certainty that this shows Mac and Nauls checking out Mac’s shack.  Just like what happened to the greenhouse, the men discover that the roof has been torn away.  The debris in the upper righthand corner comes from this.  The two are obviously shown here reacting to something, and the script tells us what it is.  It is nothing other than Mac’s inflatable “friend” when she gets dislodged and thrown about by the wind.

Mac and Nauls Check Mac’s Shack

This is a very rare shot.  You won’t find this picture anywhere except here on Outpost #31!  We’ve been able to determine with certainty that this shows Mac and Nauls checking out Mac’s shack.  Just like what happened to the greenhouse, the men discover that the roof has been torn away.  The debris in the upper righthand corner comes from this.  The two are obviously shown here reacting to something, and the script tells us what it is.  It is nothing other than Mac’s inflatable “friend” when she gets dislodged and thrown about by the wind. 

Out on The Ice Field
These are a few storyboards of one scene that is particularly memorable to those who have read the script and Alan Dean Foster’s novelization.  It is the dog chase out onto the open ice fields.  Instead of being killed by Blair, the script has the remaining sled dogs being assimilated by the pieces of the Thing which they had bitten off during the kennel fight.  They subsequently escape from the kennel and start hightailing it to the Antarctic coastline.  Upon discovering the dogs are missing, Mac, Childs, and Bennings take off after them on snowmobiles.This scene turns out to be one of three possible deaths for Bennings: his death we see in the film, getting murdered in the kennel (of which we see a partial clip on the DVD, see more below), and this scene on the ice field that was never filmed.  Here, Bennings gets pulled to his doom underneath the ice by one of the dog-Things.  A truly creepy sequence that Carpenter wanted to film but never attempted due to a pure lack of time and money.
