Radioactive carrot

Please help name the movie!!!! =D

An old black and white horror that takes place in some type of remote arctic research base (or something like that). If I remember right, a radioactive current from outer space seeks refuge in a carrot, turns into a monster, and starts reeking havoc on the research team of humans, ripping their parkas to shreds lol.

I know it's not "The Thing" even though it sounds semi simular.

HELP!!!!

Thanks,
Sobotron

I don't know... I think that maybe you've been drinkin' too much spiked carrot juice...

It's similar because it's adapted from the very same source material as John Carpenter's 1982 movie starring Kurt Russell. The original is called The Thing from Another World (1951), produced by the great Howard Hawks (and some contend directed by him as well, though it is credited to Christian Nyby.). For another Carpenter connection, it can be seen playing on the television of the house where Jamie Lee Curtis is babysitting in the original Halloween.

So the movie you are referring to is the original "Thing". But I'm still pretty sure it doesn't involve some type of carrot =D And I swear the movie I am questiong has to do with a mutating carrot. Does that happen in "Thing From Another World"?

I'm just confused now lol

Does this look like a mutating carrot (with a shaved head)?
James Arness has been called a "walking carrot" for about 50 years now in reference to this movie. It's in B&W, is set in the Arctic (as opposed to the Antarctic like the remake), and basically qualifies for your other memories. Besides that, no other movie resembles it, so it cannot be some other movie. So, c'mon now, be honest and tell us, what was in that carrot juice?

Tobasco sauce and tears =(

YES, they refer to the creature as a "carrot" in the movie The Thing from Another World. But please, keep doubting us.

I agree with Holden Pike, but if that is not it, then it would probably be Space: 1999.
