Actually its not from The Thing....its from Creepshow (99% sure of that). You were probably thrown off by the J. Carpenter printed on the side. Julia Carpenter is written elsewhere on the crate. (Since the crate says Arctic Expedition and J. Carpenter is written on the side and both movies were release in 1982, its my theory that this might be an homage to John Carpenter.)

BTW, here is a link for the screenshot of the Necronomicon from Jason Goes to Hell:
