43 years ago both Ridley Scott's 'Blade Runner', based on Philip K. Dick's novel 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep', and John Carpenter's 'The Thing' based on 'Who Goes There?' by John W. Campbell Jr., a more faithful and definitely more gruesome adaptation of the novella than 1951's 'The Thing from Another World', were released.
