The Thing (1982)
In John Carpenter's remake of the 1951 classic horror
film:
- the repellent autopsy scene, in which Norris (Charles
Hallahan), a member of an Antarctica research team experiencing
sub-zero temperatures and extreme paranoia, had a heart attack
-- and as a doctor attempted to revive his heart with resuscitation
paddles, his stomach became a fanged, gaping maw that bit off the
doctor's forearms; also, the 'spider head' separated from the body,
sprouted spider legs and scurried away
- the shocking scenes of the 'blood test' used by R.
J. MacReady (Kurt Russell) and Windows (Thomas Waites) to 'smoke
out' the alien creature as the participants sat tied together and
had their thumbs sliced open - with the blood sample from Palmer
(David Clennon) indicating that he was infected - and his incineration
by MacReady
- the scene of discovering that Blair (Wilford Brimley),
slowly going insane, had escaped the storage shed by tunneling under
the ice
