I love this movie and I watch it at least once every 2-3 months. I recently saw it in the theater and the theory that Childs is given petrol has always been a good one, along with the visible breathe.

So during this last rewatch, I paid extra attention to the Molotov’s they were making. All the bottles were stripped of labels. Just clear green bottles.

McReady was ready to drink that last bottle before Childs shows up. It has a label on it.

The noose… a part of me thinks it was made as a last resort, if anything left of him was able to fight back he would have done it…

Also! I love how Carpenter makes you feel the guy with the dog is a Thing! I always forget he has clean blood
