HAH! The Thing From Another World starring TV cowboy James Arness as The Thing.
I love those old horror films! They scare the daylights out of you by building suspense instead of trying yo bedazzle you with dumb special effects. The remake of The Thing was horrible!
Are you seriously saying the original is better than John Carpenter's The Thing? The special effects were very good for its time and it wasn't an effects-driven movie. It was the ultimate paranoia film.
