@@gamestation2690 the original . it was one of the few 1958 movies done in color (back then color film was still extremely expensive. and despite popular belief being taht color tv ushered in color film , it didn't color film existed as far back as the late 30's). honestly the 58 version's effects also hold up great as a PG-13 movie (low gore but that's not what the movie was rated). Just saying if you look at it as a pg-13 movie the effects go pretty far. . then dive into the remake .. it's quite high on graphic core in comparison.

Funniest thing with this movie, is the director said to the location scouts he wanted a town with a football field next to a cemetery, (plus a whole bunch of other stuff that I can't remember)... the reaction was it would have been impossible to find a town that exactly matched the demands. Apparently it took about 2 days, and they accidentally stumbled across Abbeville, Louisiana which had absolutely everything the director demanded. Also, a lot of the indoor scenes were built on small sets because of budgetary limitations... so outside the windows they used forced perspective miniatures and painted backdrops, placed literally inches from the outside of the windows, and when the cameras moved around they would move the miniatures on rails, to make it seem as though they were in real locations. Oh, edit: The scene at 8:55 is a miniature as well :D What I loved about the movie is that nobody is off limits. The main boyfriend of the lead girl is killed, kids get killed... it makes you feel as if anything can happen. That phonebox shot though was insane.

This movie traumatized so many people who saw it as kids. Usually "less is more" when it comes to horror movies, but this movie showing what exactly happened to you if this thing got you made it so much scarier.

Those were totally set up as main characters, or at least characters to make it to Act 3!

Paul's death was the last one they filmed. By that point the FX crew was so experienced with the materials they were using that it made the death so much more gruesome. It was a bit of a bait and switch since the boyfriend is the hero in the original, so many audiences were as shocked as you were when he was killed off so early.

i suggest you should read up on frank darabont, if you haven't already (he co-wrote the final draft of the script together with the director chuck russell). darabont was involved so many great movies, either as a writer or as a director. on recent viewings i noticed that i love how the mass and power of the blob is shown in this movie. especially the two scenes with stuff breaking in half (the M16, then the deputy), it is so visceral (also the scene with the clogged pipe)!

1:26 I've now got an almost Pavlovian response to Kat doing the touchdown gesture, she starts every livestream with a similar one. You know something good is coming...

My suggestion that just randomly came to mind is Creepshow (1982). It's a lot of fun, not particularly scary, kind of comedic, but also kind of gruesome in parts. And it's a Stephen King/George Romero collaboration, so it's wonderfully entertaining.

@CalvinChikelue

6 ай бұрын

Great suggestion actually!! Particularly because I think one of the shorts in the original Creepshow was the one with the raft where the monster was essentially The Blob except able to swim & all its victims were trapped in the middle of a lake

The blob coming out of the theater is an iconic shot… from the original The Blob movie.

Motor cycle guy is Kevin Dillon, Matt Dillion's brother. Kevin also played in the Doors movie (based of the 60's/70's) as John Densmore - Val Kilmer played Jim Morrison. Matt Dillon was in the Outsiders and Tex amongst a lot of other things.

That moment when you realize the hero isnt actual the hero, since he's just died... really really horribly. This movie scared me as a kid (and some scenes still make me look away), but even at the time i appreciated the horror conventions breaking. Always loved how the blob looks like chunky meat, this movies VFX run the full gamut from superb to 'lol what?'. "OMG You're a kid... You're literally 11"... but he's also a boy, and having been an 11 year old boy myself once... we did/do say and think such things at that age lol.

Learning Frank Darabont did this is interesting. Jeffrey Demun who plays the sheriff here was also cast as the prosecutor in The Shawshank Redemption, Harry Terwilliger in The Green Mile, and the man who runs into the grocery store to warn everyone that there's SOMETHING in The Mist. He was also in early seasons of the Walking Dead. A couple more cast members of TWD are in The Mist too.

The deputy near the end of the film is Paul McCrane who became the Melting man in Robocop after driving into the toxic waste silo..appropriate seeing as the Blob melts it’s victims. Love this film and for a film of this genre it’s actually really well written with set up and payoff and a bunch of likeable characters who you actually care for when they die..The bait and switch with Paul the high school jock getting killed early is great 👍 and the practical effects are amazing for the most part. I’ve seen some comments here saying this as good as Carpenters The Thing, personally although I very much enjoy The Blob it’s just not on the same level as The Thing imho. The Blob is extremely enjoyable Schlock whereas The Thing is a tightly written exercise in claustrophobic, paranoid terror…plus it has Kurt and Keith David in it 😉 Funny reaction as always Kat…nice to see your channel steadily growing!

Part 3 of the trilogy of best remakes ever, with The Thing and the Fly. Also three of the greatest practical FX films of all time!!

This is such an underrated movie. It's basically been forgotten, so it's nice seeing some people starting to react to it. One of the reasons it's so good is that one of the writers was Frank Darabont, the guy who did The Mist and the early (good) seasons of The Walking Dead, and was the script doctor for Saving Private Ryan. He also reportedly did an early treatment for Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull, which Spielberg loved and Lucas hated. Since Lucas was the producer, they didn't use it, and instead used Lucas' story. And we know what happened with that. I love that they mess with your expectations. Everyone thought the football player was the lead. Everything pointed to it. Then slurp. Not the football player. The waitress and sheriff who seemed to have a big subplot going? Nope, blob food. And having it eat one of the two kids? Movies never kill off the little kids. It's that idea that anyone can die, so who knows what will happen that makes the ending so good, because you have no idea where it's going to go. (No, not the bit with the priest... the ending, the thing with the snow making truck.) Another fun creature feature, done very tongue-in-cheek but still a great action romp, is Deep Rising, from the guy who did the Brendan Fraser version of The Mummy. The CGI is a bit primitive, although at the time it was really good, but it's still loads of fun. It's the oft-used thing where you put a lot of people in a contained space that they can't easily escape and add monsters, then have them be picked off one by one. But with snappy dialogue, fun situations, and good cheesy action. If you want to go the other direction (creepy but mostly serious, with some really disturbing bits), try The Color out of Space with Nic Cage. It's an excellent Lovecraft adaptation. Or for a fun but cheesy Lovecraft adaptation, starting the ever-popular Jeffrey Combs, try From Beyond. Also stars scream queen Barbara Crampton and Ken Foree (the black guy from the original Dawn of the Dead, or more recently the brotheler in The Devils Rejects, sequel to House of 1000 Corpses. Speaking of Jeffrey Combs, you might also check out The Frighteners, from Sir Peter Jackson (the guy behind The Lord of the Rings trilogy), who got his start in silly, over-the-top gory horror. It's the first time he had a real budget. Stars Michael J. Fox, with some fun actors in supporting roles. Again, somewhat primitive CGI, but it was pretty good at the time. (We really need to stop judging 20-year-old CGI by today's standards, don't you think? It's like comparing Adventure for the Atari 2600 to Baldur's Gate III - at the time, Adventure rocked!)

The metal piece you saw in the blob as it was entering into the storm drain was the ring that the pervert gave Vicki in his car.

8:20 "It's going to slurp off of him." 24:30 "Oh it's so big" Archer - PHRASING!

The original 1958 version of _The Blob_ is an absolute classic, and a lot of fun. It stars Steve McQueen in one of his first major roles. I highly recommend you check it out when you have the time.

I absolutely love this movie. Such a great script. Things are set up and paid off in such a satisfying way. And the practical effects are top notch.

The original - starring Steve McQueen - is the source of the iconic image. That version's not a patch on this remake though. It's one of those movies that's just much better made than it really needed to be.

Hi Kat, yeah this is one grusome horror movie! 80's practical effects are the best. I loved your reaction :) other 'creature features' I highly recommend you react to are Piranha (1978) - a mutant species that terrorises a lake resort & Lake Placid (1999) - a giant crocodile inhabits the wilderness... Both are similar to Jaws in tension building, big scares and amusing comedic moments.

11:14 literally almost laughed myself to tears with the point to the imaginary wristwatch 😭😭😂 edit: AYO LOL NOT YOU PREDICTING THE MANLY LICK OF INTIMIDATION 💀💀💀

"Paul is not our lead." I literally shot Coke outta my nose XD Honestly, that scene was such a smart piece of horror writing, 'cause the movie is straight up saying, 'No one is safe.'

I was twenty years old when this movie was released and really enjoyed it at the time. If you like the 'creature feature' and 'teens saving the day' genre mash-up, I recommend 'The Faculty' from 1998 - a fun and suspenseful monster/horror.

"Sorry, I can't hear you over your karma" 😂 Formally recommending 'Slither', 'Feast', and 'Phantoms'...

I'm surprised that there hasn't been a remake of the Blob in recent years as the 50's version ended on a very environmental note - they ship it off to the artic and the army commander states something along the lines of "as long as it stays cold we will be safe".

Seeing this and The Thing when I was 9 made me love creature features/special effects.

One of the most terrifying horror movies I saw as a budding horror fan in my preteen years & solidified my fears of being digested alive & amorphous monsters able to stick to any surface & slip through any crack! Particularly memorable because of just how many members of the cast end up as fodder, young & old alike. The Blob kills what they make you think is the lead & even a kid with no one spared in between. Both the sewer & phone booth kills stick with me to this very day. If you liked this movie, I highly recommend the movie “The Stuff” as well for similar horror triggers

I saw this movie on VHS back in 89 I think. Then I saw the main character as a quirky support character in a TV show (Becker). I had no idea that was her. Then I saw The Blob again years later - knowing that was her completely changed the movie for me.

May poor QB was actually a good dude, I like how they didn't make him just a straight ass before kiling him.

In 2017 they made a film ‘Life’ where a blob like creature is captured by the Space Station crew. It is indistructable as the crew finds out the hard way! I believe it was inspired by Blob. Creepshow-2 - The Raft episode - also features a similar creature. It’s terryifing. Also Stephen King’s The Mist features otherwordly mutant gargantuan phenomena at the end; not quite blob like but close. But the Creepsgow2 creature is a stuff on nightmares, the ending is not for those weak in stomach.

This movie really freaked people out because it killed a kid in addition to many likable, innocent people. It's common in horror flicks now, but not so much in the 1980s. (You are most attractive when you are innocent and clueless.) Every movie you react to gets better and better! I am already very fond of you Kat, so please understand how your channel is quickly becoming one of my favorites on KZread! Best to you- ♡

One of my favorites movies. I admit that when we found out that The Blob was a "human experiment" it kinda throw out the whole mystery origin of the nice pudding creature. But besides that I have no complaints here. Yes - some of the shots look outdated... no matter. Those practical effects were awesome. Now I mentioned a "ceiling scene" in one of my comments on a live stream. How great was that? And Blob eating the "date guy" one of the most gruesome deaths ever. I knew You would love this one Kat! :D And I would take some of the "Ice Blob" too. Sparkly. :D Kat - have You seen Robocop? Small spoiler - that deputy had gruesome death in that movie as well. :D Even better than in Blob. Anyway... Now... we are waiting for some of the sequels to classics You already watched and... "The Return of the Living Dead" 1985, "Re-Animator" 1985, "Dead Heat" 1988, "Twilight Zone: The Movie with Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" 1983. Also: "Jaws" 1, 2 and 3 - great summer movies. :) Come on people - Kat's channel deserves more attention. Please spread the good word. :)

Hey Robert you better be careful your enthusiasm for the channel will make you as verbose as I am. She has a tendency to do that to people. 😉 You're right of course that her channel deserves way more attention. The other reactors that started long before her are lucky to have had time to build some momentum before she arrived, otherwise she'd be leaving them in the absolute dust.

​@@Jay_delachance Yep - there is no one like KAT. Join us... Join us...

Love this movie. The FX work still holds up and a lot of it was done with miniatures. They even had a 'blob wrangler' on set, whatever that is.

@_uncredited now i 'm wondering myself as to what a '' Blob Wrangler '' actually does ? 🤔 This is one of my favorites as well it just keeps the excitement up throughout and still has really great practical effects , 80's horror really was the best era for make-up and practical effects . And i just love Kat's reactions to it . 😃

yeah, the compositing on the chase shots is kinda rough but overall it's such a fun movie with otherwise great effects it don't matter. :)

9:17 -- (sly Hannibal Lecter smile) ---- "Not anymore.."

"I can't hear you over your karma" LOL

"That's iconic, right?" Yes, Kat. It is. That happened in the 1958 original. And the town that movie was filmed in celebrates "Blobfest" every year, and they re-create the 'fleeing the theatre' scene.

Hi Kat! I had never seen this, but I agree that the crowd of kids fleeing the cinema pursued by a giant blob gurshing out the front doors is an iconic image. Thinking about it, I want to say it's from the trailer for the 50s movie. I recognize Kevin Dillon from "Platoon".

11:47 Wow Kat, literally no regards for your fellow sister as long as the man gets punished! 🤣

Laughing out loud rn bc everytime Kat says "Oh, I like this person. Nothing bad better happen to (them)," they immediately die ten seconds later..😉🤣🤣🤣 So glad you watched this girl, I knew from the start you were gonna love it..

24:20 you're probably thinking of the original 1958's The Blob. Which is remembered for being a very early role of iconic actor Steve McQueen and for being a notable B-horror movie that wasn't filmed in Holllywood. The small town in Pennsylvania still maintains the original theatre that the crowd ran out of. Yes. It is a rather iconic movie moment.

Your reaction to the folded in half backwards death, that was always the one that got me. I hated that death. Your reactions are so fun to watch with how expressive you get. Amazing!

The scariest thing about the blob is it doesn't care if you are good or bad, it just wants to consume. We can all be blobbed.

Kat: "I can't hear you over your karma." You kill me, girl.

Dog Soldiers. A great movie that is under rated and needs more love.

Absolutely. Probably one of the best werewolf movies ever.

I've never seen this film, so i only have this cut to go by. But I'm impressed they actually made some teenage characters that are nice, and likeable, and who behave responsibly. That just feels so uncommon in horror films, where they so often just give us unlikeable fodder who we are eager to see killed off. Which is crazy! You obviously elicit a more horrorified reaction when the audience cares about the people in danger!

Here’s a nice bit of trivia related to your previous reaction, the actor who played the scared soldier in the sewer with the grenade launcher was Bill Moseley, the same actor who played Otis in House of 1000 Corpses 😁

This movie was filmed close to my house. I go by some of the filming locations just to re-live the movie

Happy you decided to watch this one it's one of my favs, I think I have recommended it before but I will recommend it again another 80's masterpiece The Return of the Living Dead (1985)
