The Bennings Thing screaming while Kurt Russell's MacReady looks angry in The Thing.
John Carpenter"couldn't decide" about a key aspect of The Thing's ending, which instantly proves several major fan theories incorrect. The run of John Carpenter movies from the 1970s to the late 1980s is one of the all-time greatest director hot streaks. In the span of 14 years, he helmed Halloween, The Thing, Escape from New York, Big Trouble in Little China and many more. In addition to that, he often wrote and composed the music for his work too.
John Carpenter "Couldn't Decide" If Childs Was Infected In The Thing's Ending The biggest question mark from The Thing may have no definitive answer The lingering mystery from the ending involves whether Childs was infected or not. The character vanishes early in the third act after seemingly abandoning his post at the camp. Childs later claims to have chased after another imitation before becoming lost, but MacReady is clearly skeptical of this.
What John Carpenter Has Said About The Thing's Ending "Cannot tell you. Sorry.” Close During production, Carpenter wasn't quite sure how the film would end. The director even shot some alternate The Thing endings for safety too; one version ended with MacReady alone in the ruins of the camp waiting to die, while another version revealed he was rescued and a blood test revealed he wasn't infected.
In spite of his comments on The Thing's commentary, Carpenter may have a definitive reading of the ending now. It's also possible he's still not sure, but whenever asked in interviews or by fans, his stock answer is that he will never reveal the truth. There have been spinoffs to the film that revealed different answers; in the 2002 video game, Childs is revealed to have frozen to death at the camp, while MacReady survived and rescues the player character in the final scene.
None Of The Thing's Ending Fan Theories Make Sense Yes, Childs really is breathing in The Thing's finale Over the years, many theories and video essays have popped up around The Thing's closing moments. The most famous theory proposes that while MacReady is clearly seen breathing, Childs' breath can't be seen, marking him as an imitation.
Again, an imitation would have the same taste buds as Childs and would spit out the liquid once he tasted it. There's even the"light in the eye" theory, which was a secret that went unnoticed for decades. In The Thing's blood test scene, cinematographer Dean Cundey revealed that while the uninfected characters have some light in their eyes, the only imitation does not.
