The Thing Fun Facts

To create the dramatic winter setting, The Thing was filmed in the middle of summer in Los Angeles but used tons of fake snow and specially-designed refrigerated sets.
The creature effects in The Thing were achieved using a combination of practical effects, puppetry, and animatronics, designed by Rob Bottin, who was only 22 years old at the time.
