2Wait, all three films are referred to as "the apocalypse trilogy"... would that make Sutter Cane, the alien bacteria and the titular prince of darkness three out of the [[HorsemenOfTheApocalypse four horsemen]]?
3* Yeah, but which ones? Obviously the bacteria is Pestilence, but what are the other two? They can't both be death.
4** I'd go Pestilence for the Thing, being the ultimate [[TheVirus virus]], War for Satan and Anti-god, as they inspire a [[HatePlague hate plague]]. Sutter Cane doesn't really fit though.
5*** Alternately, they all take place out of chronological order. Satan was trying to bring Anti-God into earth, and who turned out to be Sutter Cane. Sutter Cane was trying to bring the Great Old Ones to earth by breaking the fourth wall with his [[RealityWarper reality warping powers]]. Finally, The Thing just happens to be the first of the Great Old Ones to break through, and after the events of the movie, more Old Ones, possibly even worse than the Thing will be emerging all over earth.
