Interestingly, I've come across a number lobby card sets from horror/scifi films where there's no sign of the monster on any of them. I suspect the publicity departments wanted audiences to wait for the reveal during the movie. In the case of AIP, how many times were they disappointed at some of the more laughable than scary creatures when they showed up.
I enjoyed The Thing again yesterday. It's an evergreen movie for me, as I enjoy each and every time as if it's the first time. The dialogue is so crisp and the plot so focused that it never lags in any significant way not intended to build tension. Love this movie.

Unusually, no real hint of the monster, but that was the approach Hawks wanted: it's all about the human protagonists rather than pure shock value.
