      I think my favorite character was perhaps one of the saddest... that being the lady from the diner. You just got the impression she worked hard, sacrificed, and was just daring to try to enrich her life by starting a relationship with the sheriff. Only to have her decision to stop and use that number he gave her to call him for help actually be her undoing. Especially when the last thing she see's is that he was already a victim of that thing. Absolutely defeating and horrific, and so very, very sad.

    The Blob wasn't just a great remake alongside The Thing and The Fly, it was also an early example of meta humor. The Garden Tool Massacre scene at the movie theater was satirizing the 80s slasher film genre years before Scream.

    The Thing, The Fly and The Blob are the perfect trifecta of 80s horror remakes. Not only remakes, but they're at the top of the genre as far as practical special effects go, and aren't likely to be topped.

He never returned to the Horror genre so I dont know his recent work Shawnee played Amanda in the Saw series and Desperate hours with Anthony Hopkins and Mickey Rooke. 22:44 they mentioned it was hot and couldnt snow so the thing acts on HEAT.

      @@robertyeah2259 The phases of the moon are not caused by Earth's shadow. Yes, that *can* happen, and when it does, it's called a lunar eclipse. It happens about once every 6 months. But no, when you look up at the moon at night and see a crescent shape, that is created because there is a part of the moon the light from the sun is not hitting. The "dark side" of the moon is just the side the sun isn't hitting at a given moment in time. And yes you are correct, we only see one side of the moon because it's tidally locked to us, but that has nothing to do with what part of the moon is in shadow or not. For some reason, people tend to conflate "the dark side of the moon" with "the side of the moon we can't see". They are different things.
