I remember in the footage of Orlando's 2007 The Thing maze, they did both an animatronic dog thing creature, and did something similar to the dogs at the end of 2011's Hostel maze, having puppets on both sides of a hallway, except the Orlando dogs are mutated.
Basically, when you narrow it down to how many versions of the thing are in the 1982 version, you have the Malamute thing, Bennings being assimilated in the chair and then escaping into the snow before being set on fire, Norris-thing (which Freak mentioned could be redesigned from last year's Henrietta) as well as his head-spider version, Palmer thing, and Blair thing. Plus, like the 2011 version, have various members of the base scare you, whether it be charging you with a weapon, or tapping glass windows/doors from "outside". All in all, this should fit just fine within the Mummy queue.
