From Fright-Rags. A PREVIEWS Exclusive! The thing about The Thing is that no one knows who or what The Thing really is… it could be this cool metal lunch box! The great looking artwork on this lunch box is based on John Carpenter’s 1982 film starring Kurt Russell, which itself was an adaptation of 1951’s The Thing from Another World. Makes for a functioning lunch box, as well as a great collectible for a fan of alien or monster movies!
