"WTF??? I don't even know what I'm looking at!!!" | Dog Transformation | The Thing (1982) 

"[WTF], I don't even know what I'm looking at!" That's exactly what John Carpenter wanted. He didn't want an alien that looked like a man in a suit, he wanted something real. Audiences were totally unprepared for that.

"That Thing is not a Dog." Might be the most accurate summation of events.

The dog was one of the greatest actors that's ever been on the big screen.

Love the hints laid throughout this movie. Things like questioning why they put it out so fast, until you realize which two members put it out.

"Messed up Old Yeller" is hilarious! 😂

"Mac wants the flamethrower!" "Mac wants the WHAT?" So happy I've met those two guys, plus the guy who played Windows!

Best movie ever for reactions

''That was definitely not normal!'' No kidding! Lol!

John Carpenters "The Thing" is one of the greatest films ever made. Not just horror, Great films overall...PERIOD. You feel the closed-in impending doom throughout the entire film. Carpenter found a way to make you cold and isolated in your own damn living room. He made you claustrophobic, he made you fear needles, he made you fear exploring space. What a fucking genius move this film was. Carpenter made Halloween 1 & 2 (1978-1981) , Escape From New York (1981) , The Fog (1980), Christine (1983), Prince of Darkness (1987), They Live (1988), In The Mouth of Madness (1994), Escape From LA (1996), as well as his Showtime TV show "Body Bags" consisting of 3 unconnected horror stories told over 3 nights. The man is a fucking genius and don't get me started on his musical stuff. He created the legendary "Theme Song from Halloween 1978".

"Burn it! Childs what the fuck!"

The scary part is, this whole incident I don't think was part of the Thing's plan. It assimilated Palmer and Norris because they were well out of the way of the rest of the staff, so it could work in three place at once and no one would be the wiser. Once it's in the kennel, all the other dogs know it's not a real dog, so the Thing defends itself, and in doing so, the entire base is now aware it's there.

I think this is probably my favorite so far that you've done. Great subject matter very well edited.

Ah yes! The magic & realism of practical effects. This beats CGI every time. The Thing is a classic. Great movie.

Best dog acting in cinema history

Lol. Watching today's youth get so upset over classic films cracks me up.😂

Love Natalie screaming “Burn it!”

"Man is the warmest place to hide".

Omg, you HAVE to post the petri dish scene!

"The Thing" always delivers.

My favorite sequence from the movie is the blood test, greatest jump scream of all time!

I saw the movie when it was released in June of 1982, I loved it then and to this day love it even more. The Thing is my favorite movie of all time. 🍿

Natalie's Nos in the background of everyone's commentary is friggin HILARIOUS 😂😂

Good Halloween reaction, I remember seeing this for the first time and this was the scene where shit got real. The testing of the blood was another awesome scene

The sixth sense: The moment of truth scene.

Everyone is "the dogs, the dogs". When I first saw this when it first came out having just turned 13, I wasn't saying "the dogs, the dogs" I was saying "I want to see what this thing looks like!" And I wasn't disappointed. Love your reactions and I'm jealous in a good way that you get to experience these films for the first time. Have a great day and keep experiencing all the great films.

MacReady is ready by name and ready by nature; certainly seems like the only character with any urgency. lol

I really hate reaction channels but seeing people watch The Thing for the first time makes me happy.

'I have a baaad feeling about this'. So you should too, shits about to get very scary and real.

I like when they were screaming to "burn that thing now!"

June 26th 1982, I was 14 years old and me and some friends went and watched balde runner for the first time and then we went and saw this for the first time. Best movie day ever.

I love how we can watch all sorts of things happening to people and we're fine with it. But, do anything to a dog and we lose our shit.

Love Natalie's low key lol voice: "They have a flamethrower?"

The mechanical special effects master Rob Bottin did such a great job on this film. No CGI. All real practical effects shot on film.

Makes me want to go and watch every one of these reactions in full..brilliant.

Thank you! I knew you’d post a reaction mashup for The Thing someday. Much appreciated. I love your channel 🙏

Lol, happy to see these kids appreciate the good old Carpenter. 😂

I love how every reaction channel was so sympathetic to that damn dog that they didn't even question on to why people were trying to kill it, or where they were or what year it was... am like people.. you do reactions for a living but you can't remember that it tells you in the first 5 minutes in the film that its in Antarctica and its 1982 and plus when I watched this for the first time I was wondering why the Norwegians were trying to kill the dog so I didn't trust it. So it gives me a big smile when they see what the dog actually is and they change there tune pretty quick haha. Also side note, I will give Norwegians some slack cause for one dudes in a helicopter moving around with thick gloves on and he's trying to shoot a fast, small moving target these guys aren't soldiers there mostly researchers and other non combatants but I've done boar hunting on a helicopter before and did I shoot anything maybe three but the rest got away and spent more ammo then am proud of missing a lot cause its pretty hard to shoot something that small and fast moving on a heil but the grenade part was pretty stupid but pretty sure it slipped out of his hand cause of the glove.

I know it was for the intent for building tension, but it doesn't make sense how slow the dog handler dragged his ass to the kennel - you'd think with his love of the dogs, he'd fucking run to them howling!

Excuse me can you please do the chest opener

Bit tragic that JL from EOM _just_ did The Thing a week ago (not publicly released quite yet)...and his reaction is beyond epic. Oh well.

Classic, man. Classic.

Practical effects at it’s best

I am commenting before I watch this clip... I feel like this is going to be one of the greatest things I've ever seen in life. Someone is going to cry hard, I can't wait.

''I have a bad feeling about this...'' Stars Wars meets John Carpenter! Lol!

it's like I'm having schizophrenia

Im a 50 year old Gen X'er and i remember when back in the day, people took more pride in their work

What is that??? THE THING

Such a great movie!

I loved this scene actually though 😭

5:58 😂 You don’t think so😂

that cracked me up

Peliculon, me gusta que las cosas se van poniendo más y más grotescas con cada escena 🗿

these are great (work and content) because even in an enthusiastic full house live audience people don't usually let out their innermost inner dialog

the gold standard of reaction worthy scenes

Really good edit.

Even at this point 1-3 "people " have been assimilated

A "Please don't let the dog die" 's nightmare

1:29 Natalie needs to chill💀💀💀

Did Ben 10 blitzwolfer/ benwolf opening his mouth got inspiration from Thing Dog in this video?

Love this movie, and I'm mad that the Prequel (The Thing 2011) was shot entirely with practical effects (like this movie, puppets and other things) and the test audience didn't care for it so they used CGI over the entire movie which made it terrible.

Best movie 😮

“The Thing” is suspicion, mistrust, and paranoia personified! It is the story of desperate men, isolated and hopelessly trapped in the middle of nowhere, caught up in a terrifying life-and-death battle with an inhuman enemy, in which the fate of the entire world hangs in the balance. What would you do?

Rob Bottin. Second best practical effects man ever! Sorry, but Rick Baker is still #1 in my book!

If you think these reactions were funny you should have heard the people in theaters in 82 who were not prepared for any of this. 😂

Hmm...

Beware of Dog

can you react to the thing 2011 please

1:25

Yummy 😋😋😋

Everyone is on Team Dog until . . . until . . . oh god kill that dog!

SHOOT ALREADY!! SHOOT THE DAMN ALIEN!! Why does everyone in horror movies not shoot???!!

From awww to ahhh in a few seconds lol

This is the greatest horror movie ever made, It was truly ahead of its time

With each video you upload you seem to get better at editing. Keep it up!

The collective looks on their faces when the dog's face splits.... priceless.

LOVE your edits! It feels like being in a theatre hearing everyone react in unison

Best horror practical effects from any horror movie ever

I'm a simple man. I see "The Thing" reaction. I press like.

The absolute peak of physical special effects, Rob Bottin set a standard that still hasn't been topped.

I always skip this scene or leave the room during this scene

4:07

This movie was the greatest horror movie of all time...STILL traumatized from it, lol.

Tears came out when i heard the dog howling in pain before get a shoot in his chest,the only part i hate most.

when i saw this 1st time when i was around 12 i laughed (cos the effects were so amazing) - thanks big brother for showing me horror movies (critters, ect) when i was 6 xD

"What was that liquid shit that the thing was spitting at him? " It might be acid or toxic waste because the dog that was its target got turned into a very gross brown weak and half infected dog that was lying on the ground and was infecter with red tendrills two seconds later

Just for the record, that thing did not escape through the roof. You see it fall back down after getting scorched.

The Thing is such a messed up and horrifying movie, especially the dog scene

This isn't a thing, ITS A NIGHTMARE.

Easily in Top 5 most scariest films of all time

John Carpenter was on another level.

Saw this one twice in the movies when it came out. The second time myself and one of my friends who went with me the first time,we were blasted on mushrooms. Great cinematic experience,haha.
