Larry Hagman directed and has a small role in this wonderful little film. I first saw this in the late 70's on the CBS Late Movie, and believe it or not it scared the hell out of me.
The Blob is accidentally thawed out and begins eating people in a small town. It first eats a fly, the a kitten and then moves on to humans, and hundreds of them to boot. I have read an awful lot of bad things about this film. but I disagree with all of them.
The movie has a great B movie cast including Robert Walker, lovely Carol Lynley, Cindy Williams, Godfrey Cambridge, Marlene Clarke, Richard Webb, Shelley Berman, Rockne Tarkington, Dick Van patten, Tiger Joe Marsh and many more.
Scenes of the blob eating people are very effective and the best scene comes when it invades a bowling alley. I will never forget first seeing that. I love this movie and recommend it to anyone. Hard to find now on DVD and very expensive when you do find it. I am hoping for a re-release soon. Written by Jack Woods, "Asmodeus" the ranger in Equinox.
