AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. . . .”THE BLOB” (1958)

The original version of the ever-bottomless-pit gelatinous mass that crash lands on Earth with a voracious appetite that won’t quit. The film stars a young Steve McQueen who battles the Blob and the havoc it wreaks on a sleepy little town in Somewherenoville, USA.

See the Blob eat, and eat, and eat, til it. . . .doesn’t burst! See Steve attempting in vain to warn the disbelieving adults who think Steve and all the teens in town are masterminding a prank! See the teens use a walk-in phone booth to call the cops! See the Blob sneak into a movie theater without paying! See the police try to fry the Blob with electricity! See the Blob subdued by the cold and sent packing to the Arctic with a one-way ticket! (Oops! They didn’t know about global warming back then.)

A classic.

Enjoy!

P.S.: Love those Detroit-rolling-iron automobiles ;)
