Was Childs infected?

The point of the movie was that neither of them at the end were infected. They chose to die meaninglessly.

Watch more David Lynch films to understand.

Yes. Why else would he run off in the middle of a storm by himself?

What do you mean? They were going to die regardless at that point whether they they trusted eachother or not

>>82939258
Yes in The THing Game which was confirmed canon by John Carpenter, you find Mac alive and he confirms that Childs was infected and turned while sitting in the ice shortly after the end of the film

>>82939258
we'll never know

>>82939458

He thought he saw Blair

>>82939544
How? Blair was in the generator room the whole time. And even if he did think he saw Blair, why didn't he immediately tell the others?

>>82939258
Seeing as the Thing doesn't infect you, it kills you, I would say no

No both are human

>>82939258
No cold breath but Mac has cold breath = ending explained

The ship was never destroyed. They could have escaped

His line in the movie is literally he thought he saw Blair.

b-but, i-it does infect you

>>82940456

Yeah, when he had already potentially been attacked by The Thing. That guys point is, why didn't he immediately tell Mac he saw Blair BEFORE running off into the snow on his own?

>>82940905
Because he wasn't in the same room as Mac

the videogame has childs dead and mac alive. but i can't tell if it is considered canon cause i'm getting different answers from jewgle

Mac and the others was in the shed like 30 feet away from him
