For those who have wondered what happened to Nauls, here are the storyboards I found for what Nauls' death scene would have been like had they not run out of money.

Garry goes off alone and is attacked by Blair.

Nauls finds Gary.

Nauls-Thing/Blair-Thing surprises MacReady.

Thanks so much for your support!

So—while the transformation went unseen, the finale's ground bursting underground amalgam thing is Nauls? If so—how about that...

BTW: wasn't one of the storyboard sketch artists Jack Davis, better know for his Mad magazine fame? Some of this work looks like his, right out of the pages of Mad.

E.P

No, not Davis. Mike Ploog was the leader story boarder, Mentor Huebner assistant. Ploog also helped to design the Norris Fx table layout

Okay, and thanks for that, but I could have sworn seeing his name in the credits for pre-visualization. Must have gotten that wrong.

That’s a good question. I didn’t really get what the point of having a kind of zombie Nauls come out of the ground was. I guess he could have been attached to Blair-Thing after he absorbed Nauls and Gary into that larger biomass. I have a theory that when the Thing mutates, it’s not actually very strong and it’s more of a last-ditch effort to scare away its attackers. I guess Palmer-Thing really does a number on Windows though…
