- krapp 11y agoThe X-Files movie was probably referencing "The Thing From Another World[0]," a 1951 movie based on the novella "Who Goes There?[1]" by John W. Campbell, which was remade[2] by John Carpenter in 1982.

- Grishnakh 11y agoCool, I didn't know about that. The John Carpenter version was fantastic, but I didn't realize it came from an early-50s story/movie. It's sad how there used to be so much more sci-fi back in the 50s-80s than now.
