|---|
THE BLOB is a movie directed by Irvin S. Yeaworth Jr. in 1958.
McQueen and Corsaut see something falling down from the sky. It's actually an egg containing a substance that grows by absorbing human flesh. While the blob is killing more and more citizens, Steve McQueen try to alert the authorities of the town. But nobody believes him.
