Get Ready for ‘G.I. Joe’ vs. ‘The Thing’!

You know how all the horror geeks get extra-nervous when someone starts speaking about a remake of John Carpenter’s The Thing — despite the fact that (as awesome as it is, and boy is it awesome) it itself is a remake! Doesn’t that create some sort of retroactive mega-paradox: That if a REMAKE is that damn good, doesn’t it stand as final proof that remakes ARE good?? In theory, anyway. I’m not speaking about freakin’ Prom Night here.

Anyway, it looks like some loyal monster fans took the job into their own hands, and have thus created their own rendition of The Thing … using only G.I. Joe action figures. It’s really nifty, and the music is pretty cool too.
