The Thing vs. It
Who do you think would win in a fight between The Thing from Another World and It, the Terror from Beyond Space?
Annoying the world since 1960!
A Late response.
I personally preferred IT! THE TERROR FROM BEYOND SPACE, in spite of its lower budget. Far more claustrophobic tension, more action, and it moved at a far more taut pace. More suspenseful, and, despite a few corny 50's lines, the script was fairly intelligent.
The monster suit was scarier, especially since they mostly kept it in the shadows and had it back-lit. THE THING looked like a big human, which I felt let-down by.
IT's plot was the basic inspiration to ALIEN, as most know by now.
IT was more vicious and perhaps a bit stronger. IT would tear up THE THING's a$$, though THE THING would prove the worthy adversary.
