"The Thing: Collector's Edition" ($19.99)
Release Date: October 26, 2004
Runtime: 109 minutes
"In the winter of 1982, a twelve-man research team at a remote Antarctic station discover an alien buried in the snow for over 100,000 years. Soon unfrozen, the form-changing alien wreaks havoc, creates terror, and becomes one of them."
Picture: Color, 2.35:1 remastered Anamorphic Widescreen transfer. Not the greatest transfer, but this Carpenter classic has never looked better.
Audio: English and Spanish DD 5.1; French DD 2.0. Spanish and French subtitles. Commentary by director John Carpenter and actor Kurt Russell. This time around, the sound is great.
Extras: (Get a load of this)
- John Carpenter's The Thing: Terror Takes Shape, an 80-minute (!!!) original documentary featuring interviews with John Carpenter, Kurt Russel, designer Rob Bottin, and other members of the cast, crew and special effects team members.
- Stop motion animation cut from the film
- Exclusive work-in-progress visual effects footage
- Behind-the-scenes location footage
- Original theatrical trailer
- Outtakes
- Behind-the-scenes photographs
- Storyboards and conceptual art
- Annotated production archive
- The Saucer
- The Blairmonster
- Post production

Overall: This is a fantastic DVD for a fantastic film. Plenty of terror, fun, and extra bonus material to literally suck up hours of your life. One of the greatest horror movies of all time now has one of the greatest DVDs of all time. The film itself scores a 10/10, and the features get an easy 10/10 (and that's an understatement.)
I'd give it a 15 if I could.
