This mug is based on The Thing, from the film of the same name.

The Thing is a 1982 American science fiction horror film directed by John Carpenter and written by Bill Lancaster. Based on the 1938 John W. Campbell Jr. novella Who Goes There?, it tells the story of a group of American researchers in Antarctica who encounter the eponymous "Thing", a parasitic extraterrestrial life-form that assimilates, then imitates other organisms. The group is overcome by paranoia and conflict as they learn that they can no longer trust each other and that any one of them could be the Thing. The film stars Kurt Russell. It was subsequently re-made in 2011, and its style of special effects monster has been repeated often in other film/television since its debut.

The Thing's clawed arm juts up to form a handle, and there is an opening in the top of the head. It holds 3 1/2 cups of liquid (28 fluid ounces).

Available in a variety of glaze colors.
