John CArpenter’s The Thing Had a Follow-Up That Changed Sci-Fi Prequels Forever

This movie is a prequel to John Carpenter’s The Thing, showing what happened with the research team before the original film began. It follows them as they chase a dog that escapes and gets caught in a gunfight. While audiences never knew the fate of this earlier team, the 2011 prequel created its own story, but it didn’t quite capture the spirit of what makes a sci-fi prequel successful.
