In the 1951 film The Thing from Another World, scientists from the Polar Expedition Six research station observe an extraterrestrial spacecraft crashing to the earth. They assemble a team of men who travel to the crash site and discover it buried in the ice, with a body nearby, frozen in the ice. They excavate the tall body, preserving it in a large ice block and return to the research outpost as a major storm moves in, making communication with the outside world very difficult. The plant creature accidentally thaws out, revives and infiltrates the outpost - attempting to procreate by planting seed pods in the greenhouse and feeding them with blood. The creature is eventually overcome and destroyed by electrocution.
