The Blob

“What we got here? Oh. I picked The Blob. I’m from Philly. My brother has a House in a town nearby called Phoenixville. And in Phoenixville there’s a theater, which is a great local movie House which I’m big supporters of. And they show The Blob every year, because The Blob was filmed in this theater... They have a Festival where everybody goes and watches The Blob. And when The Blob comes into the movie theater, everyone stands up and runs out in the street.”

“The Blob. This makes me so happy. Oh my God. You know, I grew up in a time where these movies weren’t readily accessible... If it was a Saturday and The Blob came on, it was like, “Game on, we are sitting through The Blob.” I’ve probably seen this film ten times over the course of my life. Steve McQueen, of course, is in this film... One of the most ridiculous films of all time. Also like slightly scary, I think, when you’re a young kid. “Incredibly unique” is how I’d describe The Blob.”

“I'm curious about The Blob because I'm wondering, could I watch this with my child? Will it be too slow? We'll see.”

“This one, The Blob. So this deals with like a whole town of teens that are trying to warn the community like this alien blob is taking over and it's basically going to consume all of us so beware. So super campy, all the actors and everybody involved, they were imagining this like it was them that sold it because The Blob itself wasn't that scary but it was how they reacted to The Blob that made it scary. It's one of the Godfathers of horror and then I love the opening music.”

“The Blob. My big sister and her boyfriend would see this at the drive-in Phoenix, 1960 maybe, and I was in the front or back seat and I was scarred forever by the music, which was a Burt Bacharach song... Look, The Blob, kind of rock and roll thing, but I haven't seen it since. In my little kid mind, 'careful of The Blob,' but they figured out how to stop it... It is way too scary for those kids.”
