La cosa da un altro mondo (1951)
Un gruppo di scienziati, chiamati in Alaska per la caduta di uno strano oggetto, scoprono che si tratta di un disco volante. All'interno del veicolo rinvengono il corpo congelato di una creatura extraterrestre, che trasportano subito in un alloggio tra le nevi, dove a causa di una tormenta sono obbligati a restare.Per errore, una coperta termica viene posta sopra l'alieno congelato, che si risveglia. Da quel momento inizia una lotta per la sopravvivenza per l'équipe di scienziati, che si trova a fronteggiare la creatura, sanguinaria ed invulnerabile, essendo il suo organismo simile a quello di un vegetale.Alla fine gli uomini riusciranno ad incenerire la creatura per mezzo di una forte scarica elettrica ad alta tensione.
