The Thing from Another World, is a 1951 science fiction film based on the 1938 novella "Who Goes There?" by John W. Campbell. The story concerns an Air Force crew and scientists at a remote Arctic research outpost forced to defend themselves from a malevolent, plant-based humanoid alien. The film stars Kenneth Tobey, Margaret Sheridan, Robert Cornthwaite, and Douglas Spencer. James Arness played The Thing, but he is difficult to recognize in costume and makeup, due to both low lighting and other effects used to obscure his features. No actors are named during the film's dramatic "slow burning letters through background" opening title sequence; the cast credits appear at the end of the film. The film was partly shot in Glacier National Park and interior sets built at a Los Angeles ice storage plant. The Thing from Another World is considered one of the great science fiction films of the 1950s. In 2001, the film was deemed to be a "culturally, historically or aesthetically" significant motion picture by the United States Library of Congress and was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry. LESS
