I just read this all in one sitting, excellent. It's a very strong crossover, although there are a few places that get a little too close to the source material for my taste. The backstory for the Thing is very well executed, I'm very happy that you went somewhere besides just "an alien." You capture the paranoia terrifically. The decision to bring in the CMC to increase the kill-count was brilliant and horrible. In a good way.
I like to think that in my own body-horror filled FoE homage to the Thing that I pull that aspect off rather well. I found your body-horror to be deliciously disturbing. I can see the corollaries between scenes from the movie and your work, but you have made them enough your own to really shine.
not just a The Thing crossover, but all of John Carpenters "Apocolypse Trilogy". Amazing. LOL how Sutter Cane is, in Equestria, "Sugar Cane". The Thing was the scariest movie I have ever seen. (The game was rather weak, more of a "rent it" instead of a "buy it". good work
I knew that there was something familiar about this story. I had a feeling that I knew parts from somewhere. But I was sure it wasn't from just one movie. Now imagine a movie that is a combination of the ones from the trilogy like the story is...
So now the shared dreams from Prince of Darkness are coming into play, and the reality warping books from In the Mouth of Madness have a stronger presence than ever before.
“Look…” she said, her eyes sweeping over the other ponies. “I know I'm still me. And if you were all these… things, then you'd just attack me right now, so some of you are still you. Maybe all of you are. This thing doesn't want to show itself, it wants to hide inside an imitation. It'll fight if it has to, but it's vulnerable out in the open. If it takes us over, then it has no more enemies, nopony left to kill it. And then it's won.”
One of the best horror movie speeches of all timeIn my opinion
Gah, my 'the thing detection algorithm' is a bit off it seems.
Oh and Dash got tied to the couch some bondage action is in order!
