Mistakes
When the dog, aka the The Thing, is led into the dog pen for the first time we see the floor is covered in a thick layer of straw for the dogs to sleep on. This is seen every time except when Childs uses the flame thrower. We get a wide shot of the pen as it's lit up in flame and it's visible that the floor is now completely bare of any straw. There are also none of the recently deceased dogs that were lining the floor, being converted into Things. See more...
