I'd trade several chapters of other stuff for an AFTERHOURS episode every two-weeks, I mean, After Hours is like the gathering of the content of: things you didn't notice in movies, pop-culture disorder, among others. I started to watch Cracked because of afterhours, there must be more people who do the same.
same
Anything is better than those bs text videos.
me
Same Here M8z.
+Maicol Mallers You're proposing After Hours overload.
Soren's second "Team Predator" you can just feel the betrayal in his voice lol
Yeah... I'm pretty sure the seven foot tall, black, acid dragon would still look pretty scary in the desert.
+julianwelton Agreed.
+julianwelton It would look even scarier, because then you have nowhere to hide. It would be like being hunted by Jaws in the ocean when you don't even have a boat.
+julianwelton Yep and if it was the queen it would be about 12 feet tall. I would shit, piss, vomit, cry, and suffer a heart attack simultaneously. lol
+Therealtlorenzo1
Lol, yep. That about sums it up.
+K IRA Wrong, it wouldn't be scary at all, because in a wide open desert it would just be target practice. Xenomorphs are ambush predators, take them out of a dark claustrophobic environment and they're pretty much laughable as a threat. Just look at Aliens, even in a perfect hunting environment for the them, a handful of marines with machine guns turned the Xenomorphs into complete chumps, it was strictly through overwhelming numbers that they managed to get an advantage over the marines.
Now think about that in real life and realize that even superior numbers would be meaningless, since we could literally wipe out entire Xenomorph hives with a simple drone strike.
I cant belive they just made me afraid of E.T.
right!!
+taymartin58 They are being idiots
+taymartin58 Gonna be honest I thought ET was creepy as hell when I was a kid (12)
Yeah
What are you talking about? E.T. has always been scary
I know this was just for laughs but E.T genuinely scared me as a child. I found him utterly terrifying! I had no problem watching Alien, but E.T was a trial by fire.
Maybe is because of the uncanny valley, when something have some human features we see them cute until they look to human they start to be spooky for us.
Saw Jarassic Park as a kid not scary.
E.T. scary mthrfukr
It was a recurring nightmare for me. I must've been about 6 years old when I first saw it. For 10+ years after that, I always pictured the "Boogeyman under my bed, outside my window, behind the shower curtain, etc" to be e.t. the extra terrestrial. I know it's dumb, but the movie seriously scarred me for a long time. I couldn't watch it again until I was about 17 years old.
Was nightmare fuel for me for years. Probably because he looked so real and is a believable alien. But man that gave me such horrible dreams for a long time
Yep, one of my earliest memories is a nightmare about E.T chasing me through a sewer.
All of ET's powers can be explained as Jedi powers. Telekinesis is just force push/pull/etc. Linking is Mind Tricks. Etc.
Telepathy for the second one. And the Force has dozens of different powers beyond those.
And, since Michael pointed out in the Star Wars video that the odds of producing a Jedi are actually very slim, E.T. is probably the only Force User in his species at the time. While everyone else was collecting specimens, he was following the Force to where he...needed to be? *shrugs* Anyway, he's really only a danger if he's a Sith Lord. Jedi use their powers for knowledge and defense, never attack.
Thanks for spoiling the video before it even started
@@joshyoung1440 wait until after a watching to look at the area people discuss the video
and if you dont expect spoilers
@@PaperbackWizard Except for when they discard all of that to install themselves as MILITARY LEADERS anytime the Republic starts another stupid war over people not wanting to be part of their corrupt and failed government
"Hey ET! We can phone home whenever we feel like it."
That may be the best line on the the internet.
nah it's "They live" cause we don't have Roddy Piper to defend us.
Dude... yes!
OR SUNGLASSES
+erica creta or chewing gum
+The Sanity Assassin Bubble.
+Six Beer Math I disagree. The lack of bubblegum was only 50% of his stated reasons. His defensive assault was based upon his desire to "kick ass". There being no donkeys (Equus africanus asinus) present, he attacked the space aliens...
Did Katie just use "Hentai" as an adjective?
She used it in an awkward part of the sentence where it could be an adjective or a verb. Since it's neither of those normally I have no clue which is intended.
Spenser Graham hentai is an adjective in japanese. It means pervert.
No it's a noun. You can use it as an adj with the particle 'no' and as a verb with 'suru' but it's a noun.
I think she used it as a verb
Guys, you can figure out what part of speech a word is - if you don't know how to tell - by replacing it with words and seeing what PoS works.
'flesh Gumbys going hentai on some Mounties' - our template
'flesh Gumbys going run on some Mounties' - no
'flesh Gumbys going grab on some Mounties' - nope
'flesh Gumbys going happen on some Mounties' - lolwut
'flesh Gumbys going terrify on some Mounties' - not at all
Looks like verb doesn't work. Like at all.
'flesh Gumbys going orange on some Mounties' - no*
'flesh Gumbys going happy on some Mounties' - uh-uh
'flesh Gumbys going clever on some Mounties' - not really
'flesh Gumbys going outrageous on some Mounties' - that's actually kinda close
Nope, doesn't look like adjectives work either, but a whole hell of a lot better than verbs.
'flesh Gumbys going ape on some Mounties' - yes (obvi)
'flesh Gumbys going bananas on some Mounties' - also obvious
'flesh Gumbys going robot on some Mounties' - yep
'flesh Gumbys going monster on some Mounties' - yep
Ding ding ding, looks like it's a noun. Katie just used _hentai_ as a noun.
(* Yes there is a construction 'go' + Adj, as in 'His face went red', but that is [clearly] not the same idiom)
I know this is a few years ago now, but Predators want to hunt the strongest, best prey in its hunting ground. It’s why it picked off Arnold’s crew but seemed to remain focused on him. He was the prey. The others were just kind of in the way. This can be seen more in 2. The Predator from the beginning views Danny Glover as the top prey in the area, and pretty much everything the Predator does is to draw Glover out.
I was significantly more scared of ET as a child than Alien. I saw them both around 1985 when I was 6. I still cant watch ET. I closed my eyes for a lot of the clips in this video. I'm going to have nightmares, thanks cracked...
"Space chupacabra"
That's the name of my jam band.
OMFG, they can turn our guns into radios!!!
lol
I am so glad that I'm not the only one who was freaked out by ET
Finally, someone else who was totally freaked out by ET 😂
Invasion of the body snatchers is the best invasion tactic, because it worked
Da Pumaface until it didn't work... you know at the end
Vloggerihardlyknowher I meant in the 70s one, not the original
The original wasn’t supposed to have a happy ending. It originally just ended with the protagonist shouting that we were next, even as they lost their minds to despair. But the Red Scare was so prevalent that the script was changed to give audiences some optimism.
Just started the video. I'm calling that it's going to be E.T.
I...I was right.
+icefrout ....how???
+icefrout ...it was in the thumbnail
Jurgen I didn't see that.
LIES
I have been waiting for a new After Hours! Yay!
+Kimberly best series!
Same
+Kimberly Now we wait for another month.
+Kimberly this is their best series hands down, wish they would be more frequent
+Kimberly AKA "The reason we're still subscribed to Cracked."
The candidate for the most terrifying alien is Q -- and by extension the species of "Q" -- from "Star Trek." Seriously, despite his comedic, flamboyant, and sarcastic demeanor and behavior, he could literally eliminate your universe out of existence with just a thought (or snap of the fingers). He could also think of you being in Hell, and you would be in the universe of Hell. The most terrifying about Q is not that he is aware of being capable of such things, he just does not care and finds it boring. Except for humans.
I have to disagree about the thing. The biggest terror is that The Thing can imitate anything. So 1 drops into the ocean. Boom. Ya got fish monsters. 1 becomes a bird. Boom spread everywhere
The Thing gets onto an insect, game over
I just spent an hour on GTLive when I could have been watching this?!
+Kendra Benoit I'm guessing you just watched the livestream?
Michael Yong Yep
lol sick burn
GT is like the PG version of this, but like 80s movies PG
Kendra Benoit Both can coexist and be co-enjoyed.
i love when dan starts to go off the rails in these and soren and katie get all concerned for his mental wellbeing.
Still coming back to watch you guys in 2021. I remember having a job that gave me horrible anxiety. I would wake up in the middle of the night worried and panicking, so I'd light one up, and watch these vids. The sound at the beginning brings back so much nostalgia and good vibes. I got to the party late because you split up not too much longer after that. I rewatch all the time.
OH MY GOD I THOUGHT I WAS ALONE IN THE UNIVERSE!!! E.T. scared the fuck out of me as a child. I hated it. I still hate it.
I thought ewoks were the most terrifying movie alien.
Yeah I thought that too
They eat human... i'm pretty sure they eat the stormtroopers and feed Luke and Leia and the party celebrating the death of there father.
They roast you alive, clothes and all.
They would hide in the woods and sometime eat a hiker or camper
I wish this was a weekly show :( Also, bring back Today's Topic and more Dan content.
I was absolutely TERRIFIED of E.T. as a child. Never could watch the whole movie...
+idkmybffjill730 You are not alone, I spent the time yelling at the kid on the screen, "He's playing with your mind!"
+idkmybffjill730 I remember covering my eyes on the scene when he jumps out at him in the cornfield. Don't remember anything after that until they were in the bathroom (another horrible image). I think I might have fallen asleep out of fear. lol Poor 4 year old me.
+idkmybffjill730 I've never actually seen it, but when I was about six, there was some kind of adversary re-release so there were trailers for it everywhere and I'm 21 now and still remember bits of the nightmares I had during that time
HELL YEAH TEAM PREDATOR!
**makes the predator sound**
+Isagail Carshuen Team Ugly Mofo! :D
body snatchers.
+Isagail Carshuen I wouldn't want to live in that world either. Favorite moment.
3:11 "Game over, man!" Sweet!! (Btw, that was a totally ad-libbed line. Hats off to Bill Paxton.)
"The Thing" immediately came to mind when read title. John W. Campbell's masterpiece. In original story worldwide infestation would've been in less than a year. All those other creatures would have been absorbed and converted quickly.
New After Hours? This is how every work week should begin!
Also, Space Chupacabra would be a pretty sweet band name.
FINALLY SOMEONE REALIZES HOW SCARY ET IS I MEAN SERIOUSLY YOU CANT EVEN KILL IT BECAUSE THAN YOU WOULD DIE BECAUSE OF THE MIND LINK
+Thunder. Videos. Mind = blown
ET could turn us all into it's slaves by making it so that if they die we die too, so that we have to comply.
before it started. i had totally guessed that ET was the scariest 😂
+Josh Avila same, called it the moment i saw the title :)
What about the Daleks from Doctor Who? They are unstoppable tanks specifically designed to kill and their only emotions are rage and hatred and they have advanced technology and are hyper intelligent
It has to have a twist to it. Thats their shtick. Thats why they chose ET .
Probably can't get up a flight of stairs either.
Nick Naldi until the entire species is defeated by a guy and his girlfriend multiple times
Vloggerihardlyknowher well, a guy, his granddaughter, and a few of his companions did that, actually..
Sharon Spears-mandeville I'm just saying how dangerous could a species be when it faces the threat of extinction everytime one guy shows up
"ANY ALIENSES!!!!!"
Adelaide Beeman-White aliens’
I know I'm in too deep with this series because I don't even give a shit what you guys are talking about anymore. I'm still gonna watch it purely for 1. Dan, 2. banter, 3. DAN.
I totally have a thing for Daniel O'Brian.
"Flesh zombies going hentai on the Mounties"
WTF?
+GloomEmbraced that was my favorite line actually, thought it was brilliant. Also, it's "Flesh Gumbies going hentai on some Mounties."
She actually said that? I couldn’t hear her right
I was like "it better be ET because that movie scary AF"
+Peter Schipper I saw ET as a kid and it scared the fuck out of me.
+OVA9000 I didn't watch it all because I was scared and I still haven't watched all of it
This may sound weird, but when I listen to you guys debate on certain topics, I find it very soothing. So much so that I am able to fall asleep when nothing else works. :)
me too!
aww RIP Wilford Brimley. Soren can finally sleep at night.
Absolutely with them on this one, ET always felt sinister to me.
I laugh/cried so hard at Soren's predator impression, for several minutes. I love this show.
God bless you for not using the word "secretly" in your title.
"Going Hentai on some Mounties" - We just going to ignore this line from her? Yes? K...
Superman is defo the scariest movie alien.
Superman only gets talked about in comic book discussions, just like how they didn't bring up Transformers 'cause they're robots. I am a little confused why the ID4 aliens didn't make the cut. Superior technology, coordinated attacks, and they can kill us with their minds.
No. It's the Flood! They could whipe out everything, consume everyone. It's not E.T, no it's THE FLOOD! *Flood music starts. * THERE HERE! The FLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDD!!!!!!
nooooo!! not killer popcorn!!
lol
+AwesomeGoldenGamers Necromorphs.
+AwesomeGoldenGamers yeah, the Flood would be the clear winners here.
+MasterCheifn343
Yeah.
Dan - No offense, but you're wrong about how the Thing acts in Carpenter's 1982 classic. It only bursts out and attempts to quickly snatch people only when it doesn't have a choice and its been exposed. Look at the start of the film, when you see the Dog-Thing entering into the room of a crew member whose shadow you see on the wall. That was a stealth take over. The Thing also tried to do the same with the Dogs in the kennel and the same with Bennings in the storage room. Both of those were suppose to be stealth takeovers, but it didn't take into account of someone coming back (the kennel scene where it attempts the take over is suppose to be hours after it was put into the kennel, where all the human crew were asleep. It didn't account for Clark being awake to discover it and for MacReady to be awake to hit the alarm).
It is a creature that is trying to survive by trying to spread itself as carefully as it can, because it knows that if it were discovered, the copy would be destroyed. All the times that the thing has busted out of its façade is after its been exposed. Look at the Norris-Thing sequence. It had its thing-out after it was first zapped by Copper. After that first shock, it registered Copper's shocking as painful and that it's existence was threatened. The same is true with the Palmer-Thing. It tried to maintain it's façade during the blood-test, and attacked Windows not because it was trying to spread the organism, but the fact that it was a threat that was close by. But, most importantly, it took out the generator to kill the lights all over the camp, which it used to go after Fuchs (who killed himself to keep from becoming a Thing), went to MacReady's shack to shred a pair of his clothes and shove it up the furnace to try to frame him AND also used that opportunity to infect Palmer (and possibly Blair).
The Thing you're describing is almost like being a zombie, it just going after people without mindless thought. The Thing in Carpenter's film is nothing like that. It is intelligent enough to know how to try to avoid being discovered and being destroyed. It's an intelligent creature down to its very molecular level. The only time it does the burst out try to take over quickly is when it doesn't have any other choice and its existence is in danger.
And BTW, guys, the alien in the Alien franchise is often referred to as Xenomorphs (using the word from Cameron's film "Aliens"), since there's no real official name for them. Also, I doubt the Xenomorphs would be seen during the daylight unless they need to (hell, don't y'all remember Newt's line from the film? "It'll be dark soon, and they mostly come out at night. Mostly." That indicates that they're nocturnal).
Good video - but could have been better if the thumbnail didn't show ET. I might have been more surprised in that case, but because I knew ET had to be on the list, I wasn't as into it.
Just a small criticism.
I think it should be Jar Jar Binks
+Nicholas Wright Martian Manhunter
Nicholas Wright He can be eliminated with a convenient light saber accident. Yes--accident.
The Alien franchise aliens are called xenomorphs.
you guys do know that the Thing only needs to touch you to take over your body right? I mean have you even seen the damn movie?
As for transfer by touch, I think the "the thing" would have problems
with this, as the top layer of skin cells are dead. We know "the thing"
can't copy clothing so maybe it would have a tough time dealing with
dead skin cells. Which is why it has to cut open or digest its host. The
prequel shows light on this - were one of the men gets sprayed with
"the thing" fluids he is sick, this is probably due to some of the
fluids getting in to his mouth. His skin on the other hand is agitated
and red. This could be why the "the thing" went after him so
aggressively on the chopper, to keep itself hidden.
It's still a hell of a lot more discreet then they are making it out to be
Xenomorphs, the extraterrestrials from Aliens are called Xenomorphs.
+AllyOJustice THANK YOU! Someone with some knowledge lol
+AllyOJustice "Xenomorph" is actually just a fancy term for alien. It literally mens "strange/foreign shape/form." It's called that by Gorman in Aliens, before any Earthling (other than the crew of the Nostromo) have even seen one.
+Andrew Horn If you really want to get technical, it's actually called the XX121, from the 2014 books.
+AllyOJustice The word xenomorph is never actually said in Alien.
+Cinematic Expedition It's said in the second movie though. If you're wondering when it was said in the movie, watch the scene when all the marines are gathered in the Sulaco. Lt. Gordon calls it a xenomorph.
Rewatching this today with COVID, we would all die to the thing alien.
Yeah, their balancing of the threat it poses doesn't account for all the many animals that could be infected and spread the condition around once it got far enough south- they act like they only have to check people, when any animal could also be a threat. Good luck keeping your planet when any animal can not only turn into a cronenburgian monster, but also infect you to turn you into one.
Was I the only one thinking Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? The aliens there literally blew up earth, killing an entire species, in a matter of minutes with no warning.
I can re-watch this After Hours again and again... the alien test on Dan gets me every time, lol
I'm glad someone shares my views on ET
ET scarred me for life when my parents made me watch it when I was 3. that opening scene is terrifying...
I thought I was alone
+onerva Dan had to watch it when he was 10! No 10 year old should have to endure such evil.
+The Reviewer my sister was 7 and loved it... I remember going to daycare the next day trying to describe the horror I witnessed to no avail. I was terrified of the back of the VHS tape on the shelf because it had a picture of the finger on it. fuck ET. seriously.
The mesosphere isn't searing hot, it's really cold.
"These flesh-Gumbys going hentai on some Mounties." I will NEVER be able to stop saying this!
It's still funny in the current year
Slightly disappointed that there wasn't a doctor who reference
Doctor Who could fill at least three video topics (at least, it would if Cracked didn’t gut its video section *sigh*)
Can we make that happen. Can that be "a thang" ???
I look forward to new after hrs. Want it to be a weekly THANG. ..
Do it for the FANS guys.
Movie Man Fan how sad are you now?
This After Hours seemed better than some of the last few. Maybe I'm in a less cynical mood, but I enjoyed this one a lot. Good work, guys.
you made ET really terrifying, and then you said star wars and then it wasn't scary anymore.
"No, I don't wanna live in that world"
None of us do.
E.T creeped me out as a kid thought he was going to come out of my closet and kill me or something creepy like that
If you ever played alien Armageddon, you would see that Earth gets pretty wrecked by the Xenomorph. There's some pretty nasty mutated forms of the alien with well. That includes a rhino and a Flying Xenomorph.
I love After Hours! You guys always do this so well.
Actually, Wolverine can only heal himself. Those are very specifically NOT Wolverine-style healing powers
Wolverine like in how quickly it heals perhaps?
ET actually did kinda scare me as a kid
I guess they missed the bit in THE THING where one single cell could take you over (which is how Norris and Blair were infected - when they did the autopsies). All of the body horror bits were either it trying to assimilate as quickly as possible or to act as a distraction.
Rob Ager also has a nice analysis of THE THING called "evil masquerading as science".
These are my new favorite nerds, hate that i only now got into them but having all this content to pour through is pretty nice
Many Doctor Who aliens would probably be worse than ET. Daleks have taken over Earth multiple times, and have only been fought off because of a renegade Time Lord. The Cybermen have also successfully crippled Earth's defenses several times since their first appearance in the 1960's. The Sontarans nearly wiped out Earth using automobiles against us, and with a clone army could probably also continue a war for several years. The Master ruled Earth for a year in an alternate timeline, and let's not forget the 456 from Torchwood: Children of Earth, who established a direct link with Earth's children and used advanced diseases as a threat against us.
Not to mention that the Time Lords are fully capable of taking out Earth, and nearly destroyed the Earth for their own ends when they believed they would lose the Time War. If they should decide when they're at full power to go against Earth, not even the Doctor might be able to stop them!
+Rami Ungar MOVIE ALIENS DIPSHIT. sure you got a point there, but there are soooooo many tv show aliens it wouldn't even be a fair arguement
In the excellent book series, one escapee Alien Queen pretty much fucked up our planet. They had to nuke half the U.S to curb the infestation, since conventional military hardware was essentially useless.
Andrew Robertson what's the exact title of that series?
Mac McGruff The Complete Aliens Omnibus vol. 1 by Steve & Stephani Perry. Three novels combined, Earth Hive, Nightmare Asylum and Female War.
Mac McGruff OK, in hindsight, it's not a series lol ...still highly recommended if you're an Alien fan
Andrew Robertson Im on the fence about the later movies, but I'm hoping the depth of a book will do better.
Mac McGruff Honestly, in my opinion, they are superior to anything released after the Aliens movie. I'm not on the fence, none of the other sequels have done justice to the source material, including Prometheus. The books I mentioned aren't perfect, there are occasional flaws but they are hardcore. Serious, scary and super violent, which is exactly what I want from the franchise.
Star Wars takes place in our universe. It's literally the first thing we're told in every Star Wars movie.
+Dan Tabor Not necessarily. "A long time ago" could be a previous universe and "a galaxy far far away" could be a universe parallel to our own. Either would allow for slightly different laws of physics that allows for Hyperspace travel, sound in space and life creating an energy field that binds the universe and connects all living things.
jedsithor the universe has multiple galaxies
One problem. The AvP franchise isn't solely based on the Alien skull from Predator 2. AvP was a successful comic story published by Dark Horse Comics before the script was even written for the initial AvP film. #TeamPredator
The Predators would be way more effective with say, a rogue sect of them attacking earth for more than just trophy hunting. To stay with your initial argument though, the jungle Predator wiped out a whole elite team of soldiers before being defeated by Arnold in the end. I'll let you do the human to Predator death ratio yourselves.
ThePyrosteve dont forget the books that the comics were based on, and its stated in comics and books that the predators that come to earth are outcasts or children brought to gain honor and earth has been one of dozens of planets used for rights of passage for predators
I always pictured the first 2 movie Predators as 14-15 year old on their first hunt. Slightly incompetent and totally inexperienced, they were given a pre-space faring; unarmored, day-vision only, soft meat-suit race to hunt first and failed badly. That's why the adults only came out at the end of P2 when the first predator failed horribly. AvP was a last chance kinda mission for that group of predators before being outcast and sterilized.
This is so true. The alien in ET is kind of like a corrupt politician in real life. They make us love them and appear to be peaceful and sympathizing while in reality they are draining our life force and plotting to take over what we own.
Hey give ET a little more credit than that
@@sdm47 I know what I said 😁😁😁
Old alien hiding out naked in Elliot's closet. Creeper!
Auto like after hours always. even the worst one is damn good.
It really never occurred to me that E.T is a legit horror movie in disguise lol damn
For me it is the Borg. They can assimilate people from the inside, they adapt to weapons after only one or two shots, if they assimilate somebody who knows your plan they know it, they have super hacking skills, they can turn normal ships into hives, and if you beat their invasion they can send themselves back in time, or just assimilate your planet from space by crop-dusting it with nanites.
+BusoRockin1000 Their only weaknesses are lead poisoning and sick burns.
TEAM PREDATOR! *click click click*
Oh hey look it's the only reason why I'm still subscribed to this channel.
+Video Graham They're clearly marked, do you only click these videos?
I feel these guys kinda shat on the predators, most of the times we see the predators they are just young ones doing there like admission test to the higher ranks, in the second AVP one old predator takes on like 15 normal xeno easily and only struggles with the preda alien.
THANK YOU, i just made that comment earlier.
I like to think that the force creates a type of shared subconcience that allows humans to create stores about civilizations light years away or millions of years in the past. Atleast that's what makes me feel better and keeps the hope alive.
The thing was actually very good at discretion. They only went body horror if they were compromised, restrained, or found out. They are also highly intelligent, and knew enough to disable the human’s communication and transportation specifically to prevent information about them being spread. They also don’t have to consume the victim to spread the infection. Wilford Brimley’s character was separated from the rest of the group for the entire movie and wasn’t infected midway though when the group started getting the picture. He was infected slowly by the cells of the thing corpse he was examining. Literally any contact with a thing is enough to initiate the assimilation.
You guys should do something on Malcolm in the Middle.
+pineappleagent1 like the Breaking Bad / Malcolm in the Middle fan theory?
+Matthew Reid Like how Malcolm is an unreliable narrator ect.
obviously the most horrifying alien is Alf
+Tijarni Mahama he will eat all our cats
+Tijarni Mahama well he did grow up to be kylo ren
?
The predators that went out and hunted were mainly the young ones. that was their coming of age ritual
+Cj Houston in the second AvP an whole ship full of predictors got destroyed by 1 alien.
+teh evilengineer they said before AvP
I can't believe I never noticed that Swaim sings Staind at 06:01. Bravo sir.
Childs was the 'Thing' at the end, i am aware how it was said in interviews that they were both human at the end as well as the game sequel which is considered canon but in context of just the film as a stand-alone, there is more evidence that childs is the thing on the fact childs was alone by himself for a long period of time, had been wearing different clothes given the creature ripped clothes upon assimilating, was happy to share a drink despite the threat that the other guy was the thing and could infect him meaning he knew he had nothing to fear, the gasoline theory of the bottle as well plus a lack of breath when speaking in the ice cold weather like a warm bodied normal human would do.
FUCK YEAH TEAM PREDATOR tick tick tick tick
Tribbles. Disarmingly cute space locusts. Look how slow people were to take Corona seriously. Imagine if it spread even faster and was cute. The SPCA and cat ladies of the world would stall any response until it was too late to prevent them choking out all life on the planet.
This is the only video where I agree with Soren those people didn't beat the predator they survived
Aidan Gould yea the predator that removed all weapons and fought arnie one on one after murdering a small army alone was crushed but survived to wrist nuke the area
The thing about ET recognizing Yoda/Yoda's species is that it doesn't require that he travel between dimensions, just that Yoda's species still exists and that ET was able to travel to and from a galaxy far, far away. Which, depending on how you view it, could really just be any other galaxy. Intergalactic distances are freaking huge.
Lol. I've seen this many times, but I just noticed the top saying "specifically not a head spider" at 0:52 for the first time.
The Thing. Where my love of horror began :)
I thought Jar Jar is the most terrifying movie alien D:
Yes! A new After Hours!
"Soren, hold him down, Ima need a shit-load of his blood," is the funniest thing ever said on this show. And that is saying something.
I remember watching " The Thing " as a kid at my grandfathers house. I couldn't sleep for days. Now i think its a great classic.
