While John Carpenter is holding back from giving a clear answer to that big mystery that is the ending to The Thing, he’s hinted that fans have the ability to figure it out for themselves.In a recent appearance on The Late Show, marking his first talk show appearance since popping up on The Daily Show in 2001, Carpenter spoke with host Stephen Colbert about The Thing. Colbert shared that he was a huge fan of the film, going on to bring up the often-discussed ending that leaves it unclear which of the two remaining characters — Kurt Russell’s R.J. MacReady and Keith David’s Childs — is the one assimilated by the body-snatching alien. Colbert doesn’t want to know the explanation specifically, as he seems to prefer the mystery, but he still asks Carpenter if there is in fact a clear answer to the question.”There’s an absolute answer to that question, I do know the answer… If you watch it really carefully and you send me a check in the mail, I will tell you,” Carpenter joked. When Colbert then got serious and asked again if it was theoretically possible for a fan to figure out the answer to the mystery themselves just by watching the film and paying very close attention, Carpenter confirmed, “You can.”John Carpenter Addresses Halloween Franchise’s Future: ‘All Sorts of Ways of Bringing Michael Myers Back’
