Believe it was a remake of a 50s movie called the blob....

NO. It is a remake of the 1951 movie called, "The Thing." Interesting note: James Arness played the 'thing' in this original movie of 1951: he was an American actor, best known for portraying Marshal Matt Dillon for 20 years in the CBS television series Gunsmoke.

I saw the original when I was young and the 82 version when it came out in the movies. They did a remake and it SUCKED just like the music of today.

NO. it was not a remake.

“the thing from another world” was inspired by the novella “who goes there” but was vastly different from the source material.

“the thing” is inspired by the same source material and hits a little closer to home. albeit in a much more terrifying way.

the newest “thing” movie is actually a prequel meant to occur at the Norwegian camp before the carpenter film.
