Well I know The Thing would be more difficult to deal with, I'm wondering what's more freightening to people? What would scare people more? A humanoid prefect killer or some metamorphic intelligent organ.

The fact that it is more difficult to deal with is what makes it scarier. I'm not going to be as scared of something that I think can be defeated. I'm going to be terrified if I think there is no hope. I also would be terrified if I possible had to kill a little girl because I wasn't sure if she was a threat or not, like in the example that Baloo gave.

The Thing, easily. Xenomorphs can be taken out easily by gunfire and I think I read a long time ago that from the moment they "hatch" they're slowly decaying and dying because the acid they use for blood is breaking down their body. Besides, without a Queen they're just drones. I mean, just look at Aliens. One stupid decision, going into the reactor site with no ammo, is the only reason the aliens even had a shot. Otherwise the USCM would have wiped the floor with the Xenomorphs.

Now if I was being personally stalked and hunted by the Predator then that would be a hell of a lot more scary than a Xenomorph or the Thing.

As far as what's scarier on a global scale, it's the Thing easily. I never understood Ripley's fear about "just one of those things" reaching Earth. It would get its arse kicked in a matter of minutes.
