The director has a definitive answer about the debated ending.

John Carpenter's 1982 film The Thing is considered a masterpiece in horror and science fiction among many audiences, with the film being just as effective today as when it was originally released more than 40 years ago.

When ComicBook.com asked about the validity of Cundey's remarks, Carpenter clarified,"He has no clue." When pushed about whether there was a definitive answer or if it was intentionally ambiguous, Carpenter confirmed,"Yes, I know. I know who's the Thing and who's not in the very end." Cundey's remarks do hold true about earlier sequences in the film, though the theory doesn't seem to reflect the final scene. Carpenter went on to jokingly tease his former collaborator.

Much like we might not ever get definitive answers about The Thing, many of the stories told in John Carpenter's Suburban Screams also don't have concrete endings.
