In "The Outer Limits" (1995) episode "The Joining" (season 4 episode 13) with C. Thomas Howell and the girl from Stargate 1 TV show, the main character is infected with alien tissue that has very similar properties to "The Thing". The only two differences are that it doesn't kill the host and the episode is closer to a sci-fi horror drama than a straight out sci-fi horror. Still, there are many similar vibes between the episode and the movie, so fans of the movie may want to check that episode out.

Wow coincidence. Right now I'm watching the 5th episode of outer limits season 1 while browsing the thing message boards. A lot of known actors got their break in this series. I'll look out for that episode in season 4.

If it bleeds, we can kill it.
