Time for a Thing marathon starting with this, the original adaptation of the story. I've only seen this version once before and it plays out just as I remember. The thing here is a kind of lumbering frankenstein-like guy who is basically described as a very strong and super intelligent carrot.

I like the discovery of the space ship in the ice. I like the melodramatic score with an awesome theremin. I like how they keep referring to SCIENCE!

WATCH THE SKIES! It's almost red scare propaganda. Although the latter films make a better case for that kind of paranoia. Still, it's a lot of fun.
