Beware! The Blob (also known as Son of Blob) is the 1972 sequel to The Blob (1958), directed by Larry Hagman and starring Robert Walker Jr., Gwynne Gilford, and Richard Stahl.A construction crew working on a new Alaskan oil pipeline has uncovered the frozen Blob. Not knowing what it is, the construction foreman brings a small chunk of it home to southern California with him, upon which it promptly escapes, grows, and terrorizes the community, slinking through the sewers. Eventually entering the brand new bowling alley (and attached, still-under-construction ice-skating rink), the Blob is ultimately defeated by freezing the ice rink floor.A decidedly campy film, Beware! nonetheless plays many monster movie tropes dead straight, particularly the Cassandra Truth-spewing heroes and the Obstructive Bureaucrat who runs the bowling alley. | |

You Have to Believe Me!: Particularly notable in this one, in which Lisa is not believed... mainly because she just keeps mewling "It came after us!" ad infinitum. | |

| Beware! The Blob / int_9e86e227 | comment |
The End... Or Is It?: The film ends with the Blob frozen (again), but a thoughtlessly-placed TV light thaws enough of it out to allow it to attack Sheriff Jones as he gives an interview. | |

Dead Star Walking | |
| Beware! The Blob / int_a8c1433e | comment |
Dead Star Walking: Of the five actors advertised on the film's poster, only Robert Walker has any more than a few minutes of screentime. And of the remaining four, only Godfrey Cambridge's character has any particular relevance to the story outside of being a random Blob victim, and even then only because he happens to be the poor schmuck who unwittingly retrieves a sample of the original Blob and allows it to thaw out. | |

| Beware! The Blob / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Too Dumb to Live: When an uniformed policeman confront the Blob, he shoots it with his service revolver but it has no effect. He then repeatedly shoots at it, but it never occurs to the officer to retreat, so the monster merely engulfs and devours the officer when he trips. | |
