I grew up in Royersford, Pa.
I grew up in Royersford, Pa. The town where Jerry’s market was. I remember my whole family going out to watch the filming. I remember a guy showing the “Blob” to me and my brothers in a bucket. I also would like to share that my mother was in the movie. Her hair style was the same as Aneta Corsaut’s and she was ill one evening and they saw my mom and asked her to sit in the car with Steve Mcqueen for some shots from behind. They payed her $25.00 and gave her a story to tell until she passed away this past August. My mom was not a teenager and she was a few months from giving birth to my little sister.

“There’s nobody in here but us monsters!”
I just watched “The Blob” for the first time, having been too young at the time to catch it at a local drive-in or movie theater. Holy cow, what a blast, owing to the goofy pseudo sci-fi horror effects and Steve McQueen in an early starring film role. Although by 1958, he was well past being a teenager, and it showed in those close-ups with crease lines already showing up on his forehead. Then to top it off, there was a fairly entertaining ‘Blob’ theme song to open the picture which made me wonder why it wasn’t ever released as a single. It was the same year after all, as Sheb Wooley’s ‘Purple People Eater’ and the tune seemed to be just as catchy.

I got a kick out of the theatrical trailer on the Criterion Collection DVD that mentioned the film ‘starring Steve McQueen and a cast of exciting young people’. All throughout the flick it drove me crazy where I might have seen Steve’s girl friend Jane before, until I discovered that she was Andy Taylor’s girlfriend on the ‘Andy Griffith Show’. The rest of the exciting young people didn’t make much of a dent beyond the opening scenes where Steve seems to upstage a trio of hot rod buddies, then has to talk his way out of a jam with Lieutenant Dave.

Funny, but I remember seeing Olin Howlin in a picture a while ago, noteworthy because he played Roy Rogers’ sidekick in a Western called “Apache Rose”. He was an old timer in that flick too almost a dozen years earlier. He got things rolling as the Blob’s first victim, looking a bit like a disheveled Lloyd Bridges and setting the stage for all the rest of the gruesome fun to follow.

Besides the story, the film is a great time capsule reminder of life during a simpler time, when watermelon cost four cents a pound, and twenty nine cents got you two bottles of catsup (today it’s ketchup). Then there was Tony lamenting that he just wasted eighty cents at the all night spook show, but was that for one ticket or two? Either way, it makes you long for those good old days when all seemed right with the world when you weren’t battling space monsters or doing ‘duck and cover’ drills.

If you remember the ending, the Blob was frozen and whisked away to the North Pole to remain in permanent hibernation, ‘as long as the Arctic stays cold’. Although there was a ‘Blob’ re-make in 1988 and sort of a sequel with 1972’s “Beware! The Blob”, today might just be the right time to put together a follow up; what with all the global warming hysteria it would be a natural. As an added bonus, maybe they could film it in a way that might have made the original even more camp – in glorious black and white.
