Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The Blob is a horror/monster film from 1958, about a killer amoeba from outer space. The film is notable not only for its memorable villain, but also for being the first starring role for "Steven" McQueen.As the film begins, a small meteorite drops to earth near a small town. It contains a tiny, jelly-like substance which quickly attaches itself to a nearby hermit, who is subsequently brought to town for medical attention. Unfortunately, the Blob grows and consumes the hermit and the medical staff, observed only by a pair of teenagers. Of course, when they try to raise the alarm, no one believes them — until the Blob attacks a crowded movie theater. Eventually deducing that the creature can be defeated only by extreme cold, the town collects all available fire extinguishers and blanket it in CO2, freezing it solid. In the end, the frozen Blob is deposited deep in the Arctic, where it is presumed it will remain frozen.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })It spawned a sequel in 1972 and a remake in 1988. The remake uses the original story with a few minor changes. Another remake of the original film was announced in 2006, to be penned by the writers of the House of Wax (2005) remake. It seems to have since fallen into Development Hell. | |

Eating the Enemy | |
| The Blob (1958) / int_9ad9c666 | comment |
Eating the Enemy: This is how the title monster deals with adversaries. The most indicative example has an uniformed policeman confront the monster, and repeatedly shoot his service revolver at it to no effect. Being Too Dumb to Live, it never occurs to the officer to retreat, so the monster merely engulfs and devours him. | |
