What have I missed? I dashed out to borrow a police cone from my neighbour to reserve a space in front of my house for the builder tomorrow. Pouring rain! I paused the film, and they're just getting back to the base.

Presumably the (then) audience were familiar with what happened when people messed with things they didn't understand... especially things from Outer Space, and would be anticipating things going wrong. So the writers made it a cheerful, scientific adventure story...until the Thing starts eating them, or whatever it's going to do. All the more to shock you with, my dear!

You can see why Howard Hawkes is mostly famous for screwball comedies.

Yes. The film makers blame the technology but it's a style thing...style over substance.

If you have time to get to know the characters, you care more when they get eaten.
