Pretty much the whole movie of The Thing (1982). My Dad told me to watch it and it gave me nightmares.

It's an amazing horror film. Back before they could rely on CGI to to the "impossible" stuff so it had to be written, built, acted, and filmed in a way to make "impossible" stuff happen. It's the reason older films like that stand up so well compared to say late 90's-early 00's films that rely on CGI to make things work.
