When Nauls Vanished!

The thought of how Nauls was overtaken to me is more effective & creepier than actually seeing it happen. To the audience we see most of it play out with Garry being overtaken & can make a similar assumption for Nauls. To Mac, it's an instantaneous realization of solitude & dread.

To me the shot of Nauls walking over to check on Garry was perfect, with the flickering lighting & that strange howling noise in the background.

that was one of my favorite moments: Mac realizes he's alone, and it's all silent except for the zippo opening and the detonator plunger clicking.

Perfect.

Tom_Rocks - A while back, I'd heard there was a story board sequence of Nauls demise - BOX THING. On the Thing Facebook page, people posted story board shots of it. As well as enhanced/extended Blair Thing sequences.

The "Nauls/Box Thing scene" just didn't make it. As other's mentioned, as is, the scene works great. But as gruesome(/AWESOME!!) as Garry's "Face Hand Bag" scene was, I would also like to have seen Nauls demise (I mean, it would not have taken away anything from the movie, NOW, for me if it was still included.)


That being said, the stop motion capture of one of the iterations of Blair Thing also looked cool (and QUITE different, however depicted a more natural maturation of Blair into the FINAL BOSS!) - But I "heard" Carpenter thought is just didn't work out to the benefit of the film.
