Reflecting his publicity-shy nature, Arness had little to do with the hype and hullabaloo that accompanied The Thing's release: "I did see it in the theater, but I did not attend the premiere." His dignity and modesty are virtues that informed his iconic portrayal of Matt Dillon, the pragmatic frontier marshal who was the idol of millions the world over. The modesty lends mystery, and there may be quite a few things you may not know about Jim Arness.

"Clawing out of the earth from mile-deep catacombs!"
Them!

"Kill one and two take its place."
Them!

"An endless terror! A nameless horror!"
Them!
