/* ---- VIDEO INFORMATION ---- */

Ok so John Carpenters The Thing is one of my favourite films ever made. The movie stands as the gold standard for practical effects and ontop of this the film has an extremely well crafted story that still stands the test of time. Laced with paranoia the movie is meant to leave us constantly second guessing which characters are the thing and this extends to the ending itself. The movie closes out with Childs and MacReady warming themselves by the blazes of their base before cold creeps in and kills them.

For decades people have questioned where Childs is a Thing or not and for the first part of the video I wanna discuss why I think that he was. Now this is something I've gone back and forth over throughout the decades and initially I believed that Childs was one of the good guys. However there are two very important things that come at the end that I think spell it out that Childs is indeed an alien.

Now the first of these comes when we catch him watching over the base from the sidelines. Childs is instructed to keep an eye out and he stands in one of the rooms that lead to the outside. Later on we see that he's abandoned this post and we get a look at the room which now has the door wide open. Now you might not notice this but the coats are on completely different hangers to what they were originally when we first saw Childs in the room. Placing these shots beside each other we can see that they're all laid out in a completely different way.

In the movie we discover that The Thing rips through your clothes in order to kill you and my theory is that the creature ambushed Childs at this point and was then a struggle. This caused some of the coats to fall off the pegs and then in a hurry, the Thing grabbed one to wear and then put the others up so that it didn't look like there'd be an attack.

Childs coat in this scene is navy blue and when he comes to meet Macready at the end it appears to be a creamy white colour.

Now this may be due to the snow and there's been several people that have argued that the coat is blue, we just can't see it.
