John Carpenter's "The Thing" is a remake of Hawke's 52 (?) "Thing".  Both
are derived from John Campbell's 1939 story "Who Goes There?"  Carpenter is
much closer to the original, especially with regard to the blood tests and
theme of contaminated blood.  There is a Dr. Who version of "the thing"
with Tom Baker, and just last night on TV, "The X-File" was playing with
the story (I only came in at the end).
