Good stuff. Every see Planet of the Vampires? Conceptionally another precursor to Alien and The Thing 82.
I really like The Thing From Another World, excellent film. The Thing 82 isn't really a remake of Another World. Rather it's really a close film version of the great short story Who Goes There? The two films share the same setting, but are very different otherwise. The Thing is the horror of distrust, paranoia and having your mind blown. Another World stays pretty close to a 'kill the monster' film. Would have been interesting if Another World explored the story line of what the scientist was doing with the new life form, but it was really a brief disassociated side story to the threat of the carrot monster.
