I did a Mind Meld question the other week on best film villains. I bet you can’t guess who was my pick, but I bet you can guess what a lot of other people picked.

I deliberately went for something a little amusing and different, but I really thought people would mention The Thing and, well, the Thing. I always thought that was a really nicely implemented bad guy, especially in how it built its fear on the paranoia of everyone in the camp. Also, there was a head that sprouted spider legs. It’s hard to overlook that.
