Is no one aware that Alan Dean Foster did a movie novelization of The Thing? In it the cook Nauls jams out to Warren Zevon's Werewolves of London and when told to turn it down and get some culture he states that Warren Zevon IS culture. This led me to finding out about Zevon and becoming a fan. In fact my dad had the record in his record collection and i stumbled upon it and became a fan due to being introduced to it through The Thing. Saw him in concert twice.
I am always disappointed that he isn't jamming Zevon in the film. There's a lot of other things in there which didn't make it into the final cut as typically a novelist is given a very early script to go off of so that the book can be released in sync with the film.
There's a big snowmobile chase with infected dogs, the rec room is where it ends not the generator room and Macready and Childs play chess while waiting to freeze.
