The Thing - Norris (warning to the squeemish) ;)


Recommended Posts

Another garage kit from Gillman Prod., Norris is one of an ongoing (so far) series from John Carpenter's 1982 horror movie.

He was played by Charles Hallahan (1943-1997). There's still a debate as to when Norris gets assimilated. But it comes to a head when he has a "heart attack" and during defibrillation his chest opens up and bites Dr. Copper's arms off at the elbow and the monster emerges. 

The kit is very well done with 2 parts - the bust and the little monster head. I wanted to make it true to the movie, but tried to tone it down on the guts and gore. I hope I pulled it off. Thanks for looking.

Thanks.  Yes it was.  Totally unexpected, and I liked its all practical effects.
