Monster (The Thing)

Possibly the only movie monster in history to be made at various points out of mayonnaise, bubble gum, and KY jelly!! Looking like a viscerally disgusting mix of mechanical and animal, the monster in The Thing can shapeshift into anyone, anything, or a nightmarish mass of concepts. The fact that the animatronic was “real” and memorable is a big part of why this film sticks in your mind as one of the great horrors (like Jaws!)
