Many people have theorized about the film's ambiguous ending, with people debating over whether Childs is a Thing or not. The most popular piece of "evidence" is the bottle of Scotch MacReady hands Childs at the end. MacReady had been throwing Molotov cocktails throughout the camp earlier, and it's said that this bottle is filled with gasoline as well. The Thing, not knowing what alcohol tastes like, drinks it, while Childs would have spat it out. Going further, the music swells as Childs drinks, the music having been an indicator of the Thing's presence throughout the rest of the film. Exhausted and having already accepted his fate, MacReady watches the camp burn, unable to fight. Detractors of this theory point out the 2011 prequel, which says that the Thing cannot recreate inorganic materials, and the fact Childs still has his earring in at the end of the movie. John Carpenter has acknowledged this theory, with most saying that he does not believe either of them are a Thing at the end of the film, though some have said he's reported otherwise. Whichever side you choose to believe, the ending is pretty bleak either way.
