Cool Videos: Pingu’s The Thing

How can you possibly improve on John Carpenter’s THE THING? It’s his seminal work, a true masterpiece of horror, a film that holds up to multiple viewings and whose special effects still remain effective today. How can a remake, prequel or sequel possibly hope to do one better? Who would be so stupid as to even try?

Well, they could use claymation.

This clever remake of the film stars Pingu, the penguin from the British children’s series of the same name. It’s incredibly fun and they’ve managed to get evey major sequence from the film in here.
