The Missing Persons And Change of Clothes TheoriesThe test exonerates him, but Childs, who disappeared after passing the blood test, has a lot of explaining to do. The change of clothes theory states that Childs appears to be wearing a new set of clothes at the end of the film, evidence that he has been assimilated.
There are existing stills of an alternate death for Fuchs. Like in the film, exactly what happened would be ambiguous and open to interpretation, but rather than finding his corpse being found burned in the snow, he would have been found in a greenhouse impaled by a shovel. The scene has never been released.
The Palmer-Thing was a Thing which assumed the form of Palmer, an American mechanic stationed at U.S. Outpost 31. The creature appeared in the 1982 film The Thing.
The blood supply would have had to be destroyed shortly before Blair was taken to the tool shed so it had to be when Blair was destroying the radio. Therefore Palmer was most likely The Thing that sabotaged the blood supply.
As the crew of the station celebrate their discovery of an extraterrestrial creature, Griggs goes outside to fetch more beer from the helicopter and is startled by the sound of the escaping creature; strongly implying that he becomes the first human victim of the Thing.
The Thing, Sam Carter. Assimilated, transfromed into the thing, killed in helicopter crash. Devoured to death. Griggs-Thing.

MacReady developed a rudimentary blood-test involving a heated copper wire and samples taken from the men. Noticing how every part of the Norris-Thing had an instinctive desire to survive, MacReady realized that a creature's blood would attempt to flee from a hot needle.
MacReady was an American helicopter pilot stationed at the Antarctic research station, U.S. Outpost 31. He is also the main protagonist of the 1982 film The Thing, and was portrayed by Kurt Russell.
The closest thing to a definitive answer may have come from cinematographer Dean Cundey, who said he and Carpenter used eye light to show who was human and who wasn't. If that's true, and you look closely, it's more likely the thing is Childs than MacReady.
Kurt Russell's hat may symbolically be a foreshadowing of "things" to come. The story is about an alien that mutates into the form of the person (or animal) it enters, changing it into a grotesque version of the original. And the hat seems to have gone through the same transformation.

Scavenging helicopter and snowcat components from Blair's earlier attempts at sabotage, the Blair-Thing hollows out a small cavern below the floor-boards of the tool shed, where it is able to construct the escape vehicle in relative peace.
At the end of John Carpenter's 1982 horror classic, we're left with two survivors, MacReady (Kurt Russell) and Childs (Keith David).
While Blair may have been infected on a cellular level when he autopsied the first remains of the thing early on in the film, it was slowly infiltrating his entire body, copying him slowly, to the point that Blair might have realized what was going on, causing his intense paranoia, enough to where he breaks down
Point 1: The prequel (love it or hate it, that's a discussion for another time) is confirmed to be canon. The Thing can't imitate inorganic matter. Childs still has his earring in. Point 2: Even if you want to disregard the prequel, Carpenter has said the game is canon as well.
"The Thing" famously ends with MacReady (Kurt Russell) and Childs (Keith David), sharing an uneasy moment by the fire. Their Antarctic research station is burning to the ground and once the flames die down, they will freeze to death.
R.J.MacReady is a fictional character and the main protagonist from the 1982 body horror film The Thing portrayed by Kurt Russell.
Filming lasted roughly 12 weeks, beginning in August 1981, and took place on refrigerated sets in Los Angeles as well as in Juneau, Alaska, and Stewart, British Columbia.
The alien creature wants to keep its host alive, so the fact that a noose suddenly appears in the shack that holds Blair indicates he must have been infected while locked in there — because he wouldn't have been suicidal if he was also infected; but, the dog that eventually appears from his chest suggests that he was
The Carter-Thing was a Thing which assumed the form of Sam Carter, an American helicopter pilot temporarily stationed at the Thule Antarctic research station. The creature appeared in the 2011 film The Thing and was portrayed by actor Joel Edgerton.
In addition, the film's writer, Eric Heisserer, revealed in an interview with the website Bloody Disgusting that in the script he wrote, Kate does not survive.
First time watching the film, but watching with my friend who has seen it many times. It seems pretty unclear when Blair is assimilated, but my friend noticed a tiny detail.
