- The Thing is a mysterious, highly-advanced sentient plant from an unidentified world.
- The Thing from Another World (often referred to as The Thing before its 1982 remake), is a 1951 science fiction film based on the 1938 novella Who Goes There? by John W. Campbell, Jr. It tells the story of an Air Force crew and scientists at a remote Arctic research outpost who fight a malevolent plant-based alien being. It stars Kenneth Tobey, Margaret Sheridan, Robert Cornthwaite and Douglas Spencer. James Arness appeared as the Thing, difficult to recognize in costume and makeup. No cast members are named during the opening credits; the only cast credit is at the movie's end.
- The first movie based on John W. Campbell's novella Who Goes There, directed in 1951 by Christan Nyby (and produced by Howard Hawks). The setting is one that will become familiar to viewers of horror films; A small group of people are cut off from the rest of humanity - in this case because they are at the North Pole and the weather is horrible, even interfering with radio communications.
