Oh damn, man. I have a headache as it is today. This choice isn't going to do me any favors.

Alien.
However, The Thing is another one of my favorites. I think that Alien is one of the absolute best horror movies ever made, and definitely among my top 20 favorite movies of all time.

Alien, but it's very close and I might have went with The Thing on a different day.

Both are great.
However I care more about Macready than Ripley.

Off-topic...
I've never seen the prequel of The Thing (also called The Thing). What do guys think of it? Should I see it? I have seen Alien's prequel (Prometheus) and I enjoyed it.

For me, it fell in the middle ground of prequels. You didn't get a whole lot of new ground or information out of it, like you did with Prometheus. Which I also highly enjoyed. And, it wasn't anywhere close to a masterpiece. But it didn't completely seem pointless or taint the legacy, like some prequels. It stayed close to the source material, had alot of call backs, and was a decent affair that expanded just a little the universe of the story. |

Alien impregnates The Thing.... The Thing absorbs an Alien...
Which offspring wins?

As good as Alien is, Carpenter's The Thing is a masterpiece. It is one of only two movies to legitimately scare me (the other being The Evil Dead).

The Thing, for me.
I love The Thing prequel. It dovetails perfectly into The Thing, and unlike Prometheus, people behave like actual functional human beings, and not caricatures designed to fail.
