Two extra points here.
One, Carpenter's version was a remake, albeit a kick-ass, take no prisoners one.
Two, the original short story upon which The Thing is based, "Who Goes There," came out in in the 30's and is a damned scary read, especially by the standards of its time.

I'm a huge horror buff. When Candyman came out, I made myself stand in the mirror in a dark bathroom and say his name three times. I didn't sleep that night. It was great.
I'll admit that Paranormal Activity scared me, but then, so did The Exorcist. Event Horizon's a damned good flick, too.
