Check Out the Threatening First Poster for The Thing

Forget The Dark Knight Rises; what you're really interested in this morning is some fresh artwork for the remake of The Thing! OK, probably not. But! The Thing remake is coming -- excuse me, The Thing "prelude" to the 1982 John Carpenter film is coming, and it finally has a teaser poster. One that does a good job of recalling the original, without sullying its name (cough, Straw Dogs). Click through for a look.

"It's not human. Yet." Shiver! Though, is "it" ever really human? The thing's a shape-shifting alien after all. Something to ponder while you eat your Apple Jacks.

The Thing with Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Ramona 4eva!) and Joel Edgerton arrives in theaters in October.
