"The Thing From Another World" from 1951 is the original black and white version of John Carpenter's "The Thing" from 1982. It tells a different story with basically the same idea like "The Fly" from 1986 does with the original film with Vincent Price. It also has a lot of similar scenery, only in black and white format, and the story is taking place up in Alaska, instead of the Antarctic. It is currently steaming for free on TubiTV, and is highly recommended that those with accounts check that one out soon if they are into John Carpenter's version and/or its prequel from 2011. Those who like Carpenter's version and its prequel should definitely find the original black and white version worth a look, at the very least.

I've never seen the original! Obviously only seen the clips in 1982'a The Thing but will have to try and find time to try and check this out over the weekend.

This is a film missing from my collection. The Thing 82 is one of, if not, my favorite film. And I hate how much better than me it looks being the same age.

It is currently streaming for free on TubiTV. It is from RKO Radio Studios, and definitely one of their best ever! It is definitely worth a look!

The 1982 version from John Carpenter is also one of my all time favorites. This one is just as god, in my opinion, only in different ways. It is definitely worth giving a look.
