Reply to comment by Smoke_Me_When_i_Die in TIL The 2011 prequel to The Thing (1982) primarily featured practical effects with digital effects planned to enhance them. In post-production the practical effects were almost entirely covered up by digital effects. by jamescookenotthatone

The vast majority of sequences in the original The Thing were practical effects e.g. Puppetry, which is why I think it holds up so well. I absolutely agree on both points
