The Thing from Another World

The Thing from Another World is a 1951 science fiction film based on John W. Campbell's novella Who Goes There?.
The movie's title became part of the fifties and sixties pop culture interest in monsters and aliens, leading to the inclusion of the unrelated song "The Thing" on the novelty album Monster Rally. The source book was re-adapted by John Carpenter as The Thing (1982), which itself spawned a 2011 prequel with the same title.
