Probably due to brilliant effects artists and puppeteers making the creatures themselves.

The violation and distortion of the body is a primal fear.

Cancer is, after all, the most feared and disturbing of all diseases.

The Thing is probably my favourite horror movie. Love the animatronic work.

I dunno if I'd consider ginger snaps body horror, i feel like there are better examples out there. That being said, it's the extreme nature of it (like the fly, tetsuo the iron man, and crimes of the future) that allows other points to sink in.
