Wait, what happened at the end of The Thing?
John Carpenter’s 1982 classic, The Thing, is burned into my brain. I remember renting the VHS from the Exton Library and watching the film when I was probably way too young.
But that’s how you know a movie will make an impact. It’s one of the greatest science fiction horror films ever made. Plus that spider-legged monster was so terrifying. Aside from being a genre-breaking romp, it also has a pretty complex ending that has pleased fans for decades.
Today, I’m going to explain The Thing ending. We’ll go over fan theories, the plot of the movie, and the spaceship, and even give an analysis. Sound fun?
Put on your snowshoes and winter coat. It’s going to be a cold one.
