Terror Tuesday: The Thing from Another World (1951, NR)

Before Carpenter’s cult classic came this chilling slice of 1950s sci-fi paranoia. A team of scientists and Air Force personnel discover a terrifying alien in the Arctic. Suspenseful, eerie, and beautifully atmospheric, this is a must for horror and sci-fi fans alike—and a peek into the origins of The Thing legacy.
