As much as I'd like to see an extended edit of Carpenter's Thing, the missing and alternate material probably isn't openly available... but would anyone happen to be working on a "special fan edition" of the older adaptation, The Thing from Another World? There seems to be much more to work from in its case:
- "There is a bootleg version of this film released by VidAmerica. It edits out the classic soundtrack and kills-off characters not killed in the theatrical version".
- "A colorized version was released on VHS in 1989 by Turner Home Entertainment as an "RKO Color Classic"".
- "Two scenes were added to the Laserdisc: the kissing scene and a scene of the slaughtered scientist hanging upside down being bled to feed the seedlings".

Does anyone have a copy of the LD transfered to DVD? I would love to see that footage.
