Monsters Mash #18 Alien Invaders The Thing (1951)

The Thing from another world base on the book Who Goes there? by John Campbell in 1938 the book differs the movie differs a lot from only the first half follows the book and the book takes place in Antartica and the movie takes place in the Arctic neither a book and movie take place on two different sides of the world and still doesn't matter one bit a group of scientist finds something in the ice try to see is it saucer shape the blow the ice up accidentally losing the discovery of a life time but find one of the find one tube and it alien invaders but thank to some dumb@$$ putting an electric blanket around it. Unlike the book where the creature can controlled it victims taken controlled of person but here it made of vegetables and it doesn't kill a lot of people the scientist wishes for the creature to be dead but there is a great archetype mad scientist that wants to study from the creature an learn from it the way the characters overlap each other is great you forget their just actors reciting line from a script but real characters this was popular in film by Howard Hawkes he made comedy like Bringing Up, Baby and Mr. Smith goes to Washington. They film ended by setting the creature on fire and one of the greatest movie lines of all time "Keep Watching the Skies"
