The Thing was a movie first released in 1982. The production company then decided to make a prequel. The only problem was the special effects, they did'nt know how to go about making them while paying tribute to the original film. So they used a combination of digital and non-GC special efects to make the movie. The article also includes an interview with the special effects crew detailing what they did and their favorite parts. The movie was released on October 14.
