Despite it appearing to have its chest burst, was it really face hugged, since wasn't its elephantine mask in place in the pilot chair in the Derelict when the Nostromo crew discovered it?

Yet if it was chestburst, this would suggest it was face hugged during flight and then crashed on LV-426!?

Oh, there's lots of them pre Alien - Campbell's Who Goes There?, Robert Silverberg's Symbiont, Heinlein's The Puppet Masters, A.E. Van Vogt's Voyage of the Space Beagle, Jack Finneys The Body Snatchers. Octavia Butler's Clay Ark is another good one, although that may have been a few years after Alien.

I love The Thing ('82). I saw that movie new at the theater when I was 5, my mom had no idea how intense a movie it was going to be. I was absolutely terrified, but I've always loved it.

auximenes I saw it in the theatre as a youngin! I couldn't watch the dog scene and my older brother teased me afterward saying that I didn't see The Thing- I saw The Palm (of my hand when it got scary) lol! I can't get enough of that 82 version now though!
