Stop-motion penguins act out the goriest scenes from John Carpenter's 1982 horror masterpiece The Thing in the latest creation from claymation whiz Lee Hardcastle.
Featuring the flightless fowl from animated TV show Pingu, the new video -- imaginatively titled "Pingu's The Thing" -- plays out pretty much as you'd expect, all bloody carnage and ultraviolence in the Antarctic (with, you know, penguins).
Hardcastle is known for animating great, short versions of famous films like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and The Exorcist. We'd normally never be OK with Kurt Russell being replaced in a Carpenter flick, but in this case we're totally on board.
