Synopsis:
The Blob, a man-eating ball of pinkish plasma, falls from the sky in a meteor one lazy autumn night. After devouring an unlucky hermit who lives in the woods, it moves on to battle government officials and two local teens for the lives of the townsfolk.

Notes:
"The Blob" is a remake of the 1958 film of the same name, which starred Steven McQueen, Aneta Corseaut, Earl Rowe, and Olin Howlin. It cost a mere $240,000 and was filmed on location in Pennsylvania. That "Blob" was directed by Irvin S. Yeaworth Jr. from a screenplay by Theodore Simonson and Kate Phillips, based on an idea by Irvine H. Millgate. Jack H. Harris produced both the original and this 1988 remake. The 1958 version produced a comedy sequel, "The Son of Blob," which was directed by "Dallas" star Larry Hagman in the early 1970's. Shot in Technicolor. Sound by Ultra-Stereo.
