Publisher's Synopsis
Both film versions of the sci-fi thriller based on a story by John W Campbell Jr in which an unidentified object crashes in the North Pole. The B-movie cult classic version directed by Howard Hawks, 'The Thing from Another World' (1951), stars Kenneth Tobey as Air Force pilot Captain Hendry. John Carpenter's special effects-laden update, 'The Thing', was made 32 years later in 1983.
