While alien is a classic, it stands much farther away from my heart than The Thing. Not only is the Thing scarier, it is also has more memorable moments. While alien has the eating scene, where the fetus comes out of his chest, The Thing has the blood test scene. That has to be one of the best scenes in movie history. I still look it up on YouTube from time to time to give me the shivers.
Thing - 2
Alien - 0
