      By making another story inspired by the same thing that inspired the story of "THE THING" in her version, all the scientist were killed not by "the thing" but... Just died, the thing was probably just that they experimented on the dog cause the dog suddenly attacked them like the penguins were doing the whole time😮... 😢

    They most definitely are The Thing, they were around the scientist at US outpost 31, all the men there cussed a lot there in their predicament, but here it took on the form of a penguin to spread to those not suspecting that a penguin can be their demise. As for the fire later in the short, it might have acted like it died in hopes to be taken back as a trophy and infect IMP when no one is looking.

    Okay. I’m glad I’ve been seeing more people make this comparison. This kind of setting has been used in multiple horror and suspense movies so I was unsure if it was actually meant to be a reference to that specific film or not. I will admit, I thought the seal was going to turn into a monstrosity that looked like the practical effect in the dog cage scene. Such a good movie and still one of my favorites.
