Belieivng itself to still be frozen in the ice, pursuing the bitter memory of its adversary, The Thing from another world chases the survivors who have eluded it through the snow coated desert of the Artic. Borrowing the body of Childs, with itself revealed as the top of its head splits open and lashes out a mouth at the tip of the throat, seeking another meal to fuel its rampage.
However, shocked to find that he had not only survived the freezing night but found other survivors, Macready clings to what he has left to combat The Thing and ensure that it does not make it into the world beyond. Who will emerge victorious in this clash between man and monster? Find out only on Dead By Daylight: Blood Moon.
The Arcitc base of the John Carpenter film, now half burried in snow as the winds of the evernight rage on. Flarring up and calming down at random and making it far too easy to get lost. When the winds flare, survivor and slasher alike can find themselves momentairly crippled or slowed down by the freezing tempatures. The slasher only slowing down as they tread their way through the snow. The heat of the fury sustaining them.
The Thing, constantly choking on its own extended throat, and letting out a gruttled "Come here" or "Where are you" everynow and then, used its mutilated appendage to its advantage. Using it to whip the survivors with when in a close enough range, or tossing it forward and using the mouth on the tip of it to take a bite out of them for distance. The only flaw with this method of attack was its unpredictable nature, as the rest of the body beneath it was constantly shuddering, slowing it down when compared to other killers.
However, this problem can be solved momentarily with his special attribute. Taking the form of another Survivor, even mimicing their mannerisims. This effect would last for until an attack had to be preformed, in which, The Thing would shift back to its true self and then be free to attack. Giving a fair amount of time for the survivors to react. Yet, sometime a survivor just is incapable of reacting or proving to be incompetent. This would be the fate of the second to last of the survivors.
Being crippled upon the second strike of The Things throat, and crawling for his life, the survivor was in no way able to escape the grasp of The Thing. It's body looming over the survivor as it grabs them by the shoulders with both hands. The front of its torso opening up into a massive mouth and the throat wrapping around the survivors neck, pulling them in as the body closes around them.
The Thing then knew, there was but one left. Macready. The one that continued to vex it at every turn. Stranding it on this world and in a dead area, devoid of life of anykind. It hungered for Macready the most. A voice, possibly The Entity itself, cried out to The Thing, alerting it to the only means of getting out of this hellhole, exits The Thing would go to investigate.
A hatch appeared before The Thing. Little did it know, the man it sought, knew it would go to investigate these exits to ensure that all means of escape went unsused. Atop of that, Macready had the only weakness of The Thing in hand, a molotov. Mac threw this Cocktail bomb, dosing The Thing in flames and causing it to enter a stun cycle, allowing for Mac to run by and hop into the hatch, escaping this red snow ridden graveyard and into the wilderness.
The Thing would pursue out of spite.
Believing all humans of the facility that held it captive to be dead, The Thing resumed its construction of its ship, scattering into smaller pieces of itself and seeking parts for repairs. Yet the sound of choppers in the distance filled it with rage. Reinforcements arriving to finish what the one named Macready started. The Thing knew it was going to be a long night.
Theory Time
Why hello and welcome Dead Heads. This is a new piece of the series I felt like would be fun to do, so let me know if you like it and I'll consider doing more.
This chapters theory is not only centered around The Thing but all of John Carpenter's films. Well, at least the horror focused ones. As you may know, The Thing is the first in a series of films called The Apocalypse Trilogy, consisting of The Thing, Prince Of Darkness and In The Mouth Of Madness respectively. But what you may have not known is that Donald Plesence plays a priest named Father Loomis in Prince Of Darkness.
This led me to wonder, is this the same Loomis we've seen combat the curse of Michael Meyers from the Halloween series? After peering the eyes of pure evil and seeing them stare back, did Doctor Sam Loomis convert his life to one of seeking salvation, to make sense of the chaos he was witness to? I do not know which timeline of the Halloween franchise would fall into the Apocolaypse Trilogy, but the idea of Michael Meyers, The Thing, Prince Of Darkness and The Old Ones exsisting in the same world makes me hope that this theory is wrong.
