'The Thing vs Bumble: A Christmas Mashup' [This post just requires tags.]

This being the holidays, I was working on a color cut 'n' paste of Bumble, the abominable snow monster of the North (see below) and creating a simple snowy landscape for him, when out of left field, inspiration struck! I suddenly recalled a memorable scene from another production likewise set in the high arctic, and - humorously marrying the two - presto!


Bumble, the Abominable Snow Monster of the North, from the holiday television classic: 'Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer' (1964)

 

Howard Hawks' 'The Thing from Another World' (1951)

Meanwhile, on the homefront, my sister Yvette gave me a fabulous Christmas gift, that she just couldn't resist.

'We come in peace, and with good will!"
