The soundtrack to John Carpenter’s The Thing is just as iconic as the film itself. Ennio Morricone’s music perfectly enhances the imagery and action on screen. But why is it so effective? Let’s find out.
DISCLAIMER: Fair Use/Fair Dealing is claimed for the following reasons:
-This video is transformative. Original copyright creations are analysed and discussed.
-The purpose of this video is educational and analytical.
-The video will not have a negative effect on the market. It can indeed be said to praise certain virtues of the work, presenting it in a positive light.
-All Clips from the film are taken from a DVD purchased legally by the creator of this video. Clips are used out of context, with commentary added.
-A 3 second clip from Family Guy is also included under fair use/fair dealing as the treatment of this excerpt is transformative.
An excerpt from the first movement of Vaughan Williams' Symphony No. 7 is from this recording:

Again, fair use/fair dealing is claimed here as the excerpt is quoted in a comparative and transformative capacity, with no harm to the market.
Please be advised that some clips from the film used in this video contain strong language.
[A large portion of the music Ennio Morricone composed does not appear in the film (instead appearing in the more recent Hateful 8). John Carpenter also composed some shorter cues with the assistance of his sound collaborator Alan Howarth for certain scenes. This video just looks at music actually employed in the film rather than the entire 'complete' soundtrack.]
Enjoy!
