I recently purchased the new Shout! Factory Blu-Ray of The Thing, which is awesome. On a second, special-features disc, the set includes the Network TV Broadcast version of the film, which is quite a bit different. Unfortunately, this version is of low quality, as they have simply transferred a master tape (or maybe even a VHS tape?), rather than recreating the cut with the new scan and other materials. I was considering recreating the TV cut with the new scan as a primary source, but I was wondering if anyone here knows about possible sources for pieces of the TV cut that are not in the original.

I’d be using the audio track from the special features Blu-Ray.
