Apparently by reading the comments here and on the 1982 version, not many know the original movie was actually The Thing from Another World 1951. All being based on the 1938 book Who Goes There?.
@wambie I saw the 1951 movie as a kid, I think in the late 1960's or early 1970's, and always remembered it as just "The Thing", forgetting the "from anther world " part. It might be that like me, a lot of people forgot the rest of the title.
