#91 - The Blob


At 82 minutes, number 91 is a cult classic monster movie staring a young Steven McQueen (Steven - LOL) -

this is a pretty good fun Sci-fi monster romp - One can tell teenagers were made central to the story line like a surfer movie, and Steve at 28 made his first leading role here. 

I'm not gonna go to deep into it - there's two commentaries, and an interesting featurette with some behind the scenes - I remember reading years ago how the silicon blob prop was found in a bucket somewhere and the collector showed it.

what was interesting was the large number of set models a foot or two big hung at an angle where the silicon Blob prop was able to just ooze thru the foot sized models which is how they were able to create some decent special effects

Nice little break, and cult classic horror films are always a winner
