Default 1982s The Thing: Favorite Death Scene?
SPOILER ALERT!

If you've never seen the movie stop now and exit the thread.

Also, if you've never seen the movie you should go hang yourself.



So, which Thing induced death was the best of the lot?

My super close second place vote. On any given day I'd pick it as #1.

This just freaks me out more for some reason.

Definitely! It's been the inspiration for all three feature films and it's a quick read. The ending of the original story has never been adapted properly, which is too bad because it really drives home how close The Thing came to taking over the planet.
