An Antarctic expedition picking up a peculiar magnetic field discover an alien spaceship and a creature frozen in the ice. After bringing the unholy monster back to camp to let it thaw so they can study it, they discover it has the unique ability to perfectly imitate any organism it comes in contact with. Soon, the residents of the camp are torn apart by their own paranoia as they have no idea who among them are aliens. Such is the story in John W. Campbell’s Frozen Hell, an expanded edition of his novella Who Goes There? compiled from notes and early drafts discovered in a box at Harvard University. The story would go on to inspire The Thing from Another World, John Carpenter’s The Thing, and the 2011 prequel The Thing, not to mention the short story “The Things” which retells Carpenter’s story from the point of view of the creature. Joe is joined by Raymond Gardner to discuss how these different artists approached adapting Campbell’s seminal work of science-fiction horror.
