FILM DESCRIPTION:
In a tiny California town, high school students Brian (Kevin Dillon), Meg (Shawnee Smith) and Paul (Donovan Leitch) discover a strange, gelatinous substance that melts the flesh of any living creatures in its path. The deadly substance gets into the town's sewer system, where it begins growing uncontrollably, occasionally emerging to feast on unsuspecting townspeople. A military clean-up crew is sent to eliminate the menace, but it may end up doing more harm than good.

What really adds to the the blob’s unsettling aura in this movie is how it is actually an intelligent entity that can think, make traps, and “taunt” its prey. It also makes horrendous pig squealing, which adds to the chill factor.
You should read the book made from the film. It actually shows the blob's "thought process" and shows how it GAINS intelligence the larger it gets. By the end of the book, it's no longer a mindless entity bent on survival but an apex predator able to make reasoned decisions.
@@theusher2893 Wow! So the Blob DOES know what it's doing?!?
@@BMW9661 I mean we see the blob use the girl as bait to eat Scott back in the beginning
@@TheIdiotChihuahua it makes more sense the more I think about it. I just took it as a giant white blood attacking anything that moved (humans) to fight off a virus. But as the movie progresses there are signs the Blob itself has a mind of it's own. Particularly with how it claims its victims. This sewer scene in particular, when it grabs and eats Eddie it could have easily taken Meg as well at the same time. Also when Meg is trying to escape it forms a mouth and basically just waits for her to fall in.
@@BMW9661 yeah and the fact that it went specifically to target Meg and the boys rather than eating any one else still in the theater as there was more people outside.
It's not the fact that they kill a kid...it's the fact that they show him resurfacing half melted AND STILL REACHING OUT AND SCREAMING FOR HELP
So true.
Yeah, even though I kinda wish we got to see Eddie’s mom reaction after she found out her son is dead
And his mom saw it
Well in a movie where monster appear everyone has low chance of survivality
@GVBRIEL I loved it
Pennywise: *Brutally kills kid in sewer*
Blob: “First time?”
Fyi the original It novel predates this movie by 3 years.
-when did I ask- cool
Pennywise is more or less a god. He would be asking Blob if it's his first time.
Guillermo del Toro be like : i kill kids all the time yo.
@@OniLordMiki so 1985 right?
There’s a story behind this. The child actor who was taken by the Blob had an annoying stage mother, and she kept pressing the director for her son to be in more scenes in the film. She kept annoying him so much that the director finally gave her her wish. He gave the boy more scenes and wrote him out of the film in the most gruesome way possible.
Hahaha poor Kid
I heard that the child actor approved of his characters' death
@@geoffreydunsmore1561 Oh wow, I didn’t know about that part. 🤣
Sounds like cap
@@josuebarboza9809 its not
When you consider how rare it is for movies to kill children even more so showing some details this is kinda special.
It's grim.
IT
Jaws
It definitely shows you nobody's safe in a situation like this.
Ever seen Mimic?
Studio: Does the kid have to die?
Screen Writer: Yes its part of the plot.
Studios: Ok but dont kill the kid on screen.
Scree writer: Fine.
Studio: WTF I told you not to kill the kid on screen!!!
Screen Writer: What?!?, technically he was still alive in the last shot.
Perfect.
Gross... literally
Studio: ......Touche
Ugh, just the though that he was still alive is horrifying
*THAT DOESN'T MAKE IT BETTER SCREEN WRITER*
1:09 I love how this thing instead of trying to ensnare her with its tentacles or absorb her out right it just formed a mouth just to sadistically taunt her
Yeah, it almost looks like the sarlac pit from Return of the Jedi
I wanted her to fall in so bad lol
@@bigal2748 for some reason she looks like Kyle from Child’s Play 2
My guess is that the Blob can only reach up so high because it's too liquid/soft to reach up that high without collapsing from its own weight. All the other times it's grabbed someone was when they were nearby or beneath the Blob.
@@Omnywrench ye
Meg had the best survivor instincts in this movie, she constantly was adapting to what was happening and suggesting ideas in a split second that ended up keeping people alive. What a trooper.
EDIT: *goes after kid grabbed by the Blob* oh, well maybe not infallible but still..
I always thought Shawnee Smith as Meg was one of the gutsiest heroines of 80s horror.
I mean, I can also forgive her for going back for the kid. It's a tribal instinct to
protect the community young even if they're not yours. I'm not gonna be the one that got accused/called out for leaving someone's kid behind. I would at least try.
@@MasteroChieftan definitely, I agree. Plus as viewers we know that basically once you've been touched by the blob you're more or less dead, but she didn't. She just knew it was a horrific monstrous.. thing
@@Aerialgrrl 100%, couldn't explain it better myself
@@beardedgreek9069 what exactly happens if you touch it?
For a horror movie (remake) in 1988, this movie sure did broke a lot of rules and even had a lot of guts the filmmakers could do that couldn't normally pass in ordinary horror movies...
One of the first rules it broke was killing off an established character so early. Doing so, it set the tone that no one was safe and not even the kids.
I see what you did there
@@griz312 i think body snatchers remake did something like this too, also pretty funny when they threw the kid outta the choppa
Same thing with Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007).
@@themovieguru1094 Sweet Jesus that's a movie I wish I could forget
That's a proper horror movie: where the kids don't get an immortality pass.
IT : .........👀
@@wahyuagoes7190 Pennywise:Yes
@@wahyuagoes7190 more like all Stephen kids movies lol
Stephen king*
The predator
The cleanest sewer to this date
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦🏽♀️
@@rileydawnofficial4335 wat
Correct
It is
😂😂
When asked about this particular scene, the director said, "well, I felt that if there really was a blob, he wouldn't be too particular about who he ate, so if you're in the wrong place at the wrong time, you were on the menu." Makes sense to me 😆
Sad but really scary truth. In a real life scenario, kids and animals are not off limits.
@@BMW9661 Wanna know something cool? In the novelization (yes, it exists, and it's actually quite good) the army guys follow its trail through the woods, and they find the remains of several animals it preyed upon, gaining mass little by little in the beginning. The book does a great job of filling in the gaps here and there, including how the blob goes from a small, cautious organism trying to survive to an apex predator who fears nothing.
@@theusher2893 so the book is told from the Blob's perspective? Wow, I'll have to read that one. How does it end in the novelization?
@@BMW9661 Not really, no. It occasionally shows the thought process of the creature, how in the beginning it's basically a mindless protoplasm reacting to stimuli, to an organism that craves the satisfaction of feeding, to a predator who can make decisions based off of threats.
@@theusher2893 so how does it end in the book?
Very few movies have ever traumatized me as a kid, The Blob, Especially this scene has terrified me for 18 years
This scene? To me the most shocking part from this movie is the guy melting in the hospital room, when the girl takes his arm: it lasts longer and you have all the time to witness the horrifying suffering of him inside the blob (gosh, and his screams!)...
For good reasons.
OMG this movie has been the bane of my existence my whole life. I’m watching this video to work up the courage to face it again.
@@InfiniCalendar Sounds like me when it came to The Neverending Story.
Ah, I would also like to be part of this club of irreversible mental scarring
Cause... Yeah I get it
Jason Voorhees: Ok, that's messed up.
The Blob: I don't care.
🤣😂
Since when does Jason talk?
AVPR: (to The Blob (1988)) Same here, man.
hahahaha 😂👏🏼
@@OniLordMiki Jason Takes Manhattan: "Mommy, don't let me drown. Mommy?"
And Jason Goes to Hell: "Freeze! Get the hell away from her, Ed!"
00:45 That scene traumatized me when I was a kid, man. Even know that I'm in my 20's
Yeah I’m with you buddy. And I’m in my 30’s. Not too many movies do this. I can only name a few of the top of my head. This was brutal. Great remake though.
I remember thinking "Poor kid, well at least he died a quick de.... OH DEAR GOD!"
@@PS3DJ09 It's sad that he just resurfaces with his body being melted, still screaming for help.
Same here brother
The worst part is that I watched this before going to bed.
The fact they show the kid half digested/melted screaming and reaching out for help makes this a gppd horror movie where nobody gets any mercy and its all about surviving or dying
0:45 may his soul Rest In Peace. Rip Eddie.
You know it's just a movie right? And you also know rip means rest in peace? You don't have to say it twice for the fictional character, ya big spoon.
@@metallicoustic6733 I know it’s not real. And the actors weren’t in danger period. It’s the characters.
Yep
As a kid, this was horrifying. As an adult, Eddie's death is still disturbing as ever.
That's a sign of a good horror film.
I love that the older sister fought to save her brother's friend even if she was unsuccessful.
This character clearly was not a passive damsel in distress. She tried to protect whoever she could.
The action heroines of the 80s and 90s were a different breed. Characters like Sarah Conner and Ellen Ripley protecting everyone they could until their only option was to kill the attacker by any means necessary
Hell yeah she straight dove head first into the abyss though she knew how deadly it was.
Some people are just selfless and would rather try to help someone first
@@booqrdoit9138 also the legendary badass Vasquez.
Childhood Me: They’re not gonna kill a kid even in a horror movie. Kids are meant to be invincible.
This Movie: Please allow me to introduce myself, I’m a film of wealth and…taste.
I'd like to think because a real life Blob wouldn't not care if you're man, woman, child, baby or animal....a meal's a meal.
@@BMW9661
The first reality check I ever had…
Benny loves you: hey you forgot me
@@theily1724 makes it all the more realistic and creepier to know children and animals aren't off-limits in a monster survival situation.
Well in it kids dies too but off screen in the book they die brutally
I saw this in the theater when it came out. People were screaming after the kid went under the second time. I remember a few got up and left and didn't come back. This and the second guy who dies (the one she walk in on and he's screaming inside the blob), those haunted me for a very long time, more so than any scary movie I've ever seen before or since
It’s not the fact that the blob kills a kid that has me upset over this movie. It’s the fact that the creature regurgitated Eddie on purpose, and then re-sucked him in in a way to taunt Meg, that you failed to protect him and look what I’m doing to him.
When the blob shows intelligence, you deserve to be afraid
It’s like if The Blob was taunting Meg with the dying kid. Like if it was saying “Looks what I’m doing to this kid, it’s what I’m going to do to YOU!”
Bro really said “I like kids” 💀
One of the many reasons why the 80s horror movies were disturbing. Even if they are unrealistic and silly or even comical. The forgotten trauma that scenes like this caused me as a kid is revived and experienced all over again
Man, that's rare- a horror movie not only willing to kill off kids, not only willing to do it on-screen, but willing to show it as a painful and slow death.
I first saw this back in 2002 on the sci-fi channel and i was 10 and i wasnt really freaked out until this scene played out. The fact the kid was melting, being dissolved freaked me out so much because i never saw a kid die in a movie at that point in my life. And deadass for about a year i was afraid of going in a public pool, thinking the blob was going to come out of the drain. 😂
so 22 years later, at this point, did you see any movie else did that
This movie definitely was fresh out of Plot Armor😂
(Blob ate it too)
I disagree. Meg had plenty of it.
@@OniLordMiki how many people was she faster than tho? 🤣
The Blob is one terrifying monster. It can follow you anywhere
Except the freezer....
I saw the movie online with low expectations, came out impressed by how they handled the story and made it an interesting watch
@@synthonaplinth5980to Antarctica!
It is babi, it must be fed at all times.
Gonna have to say this movie is probably one of the best remakes of all time.
Name any remakes today that can master this?
the thing and the fly are up there
The hills have eyes
Rob zombies Texas chainsaw
@@agentray Rob Zombie didn't direct the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake. (He almost did but turned it down.) He directed Halloween which was nowhere near as good.
@@mabelstyx the thing had a sequel not a remake still trash tho
@@jeambeam3173 John Carpenter’s “The Thing” was itself a remake of a black-and-white film called “The Thing from Another World”
Imagine if the kid actually got away and went on to live his life half melted.
I doubt he'd have lived long with damage like that.
@@ShadowSonic2 Yeah his skull was literally exposed lmao
Back when horror movies used practical effects and had balls!!!
Wouldbt practical effects be cheaper? Surprised they don't do it anymore...
Especially the balls...
@@datboi9539 Not always. Certain scenes are cheaper/easier to portray with CGI.
That's because they had no choice but to use practical lol
There were plenty of horror movies today that used practical effects and has balls.
I would love to see a modern Blob movie with practical effects, like puppetry. That would be bloody sick as hell.
The studio would insist on CGI and it would end up looking even cheesier and quickly dated.
"we have orders not to shoot" then why did they give you rifles
@DEFCON ZERO I wonder what the plan was to catch this thing cause I doubt they knew ice was its weakness before.
@DEFCON ZERO standard comment
Orders can change...
To take out dissenting or prying civilians
And a rocket launcher.
Love how it could’ve reached up and grabbed her if it really wanted to. But it was playing with its food,it figured she was gonna fall anyway
No she could save herself but i do not knows why she just did not go from this thing
My dad made me watch this with him as a kid. My age was bad enough, but couple it with the fact I’m also autistic, and this movie really ****ed me over. I’m 38 and only just now working up the courage to watch this again.
I also have autism and I also watched this at a young age, well more like a music video of it where it showed multiple gory scenes from this movie. The song that was playing was Flesh harvest by psychclone which made the experience more terrifying. It also traumatized me for several years. And no my dad didn’t make me watch this, I watch this by myself while I was visiting his house one weekend. I was eight.
yo también soy autista y veía películas así o peores desde que tengo memoria
I have autism and my first encounter with this movie was the scene with the film projectionist and his yo-yo. I was so scared I couldn't scream let alone move.
Does having autism make it harder to watch horror movies??😮😢
I think this was the first movie I ever saw where a kid dies. Haunted me for days afterward. I wonder what the production meetings were like. Killing off a kid was definitely an anomaly in 1988 & even 30+ years later hasn't really happened in a theatrically released movie again
Have you seen Jaws?
@@shijoejoseph2011 yes
Hereditary
@@shijoejoseph2011 I never said it was the first movie to do it, I just said it was rare. If we really wanna take it back, have you seen Frankenstein?
@@thecrispeoutdoors3721 Ah yeah, forgot about Hereditary. I stand corrected
This shocked and upset me the first time I saw it, not just because he was a kid, but because I had assumed Eddie was also Kevin and Meg's brother and I was horrified to think they lost a sibling.
Same! It wasn't until I looked it up that I realized Eddie was just Kevin's friend
@@VanessaPalmer420 still must hurt Kevin and his parents pretty bad, Eddie was his BFF and always over his house.
this movie scared the hell out of me as a kid!!!
1:14 Its Leviathan from Dead Space!
0:46 The kid reminds about Toxic waste scene in RoboCop.
Funny, cause the Toxic Waste Guy from Robocop WAS in this.
Shawnee Smith is such a beautiful woman. I have loved watching her career for the past 35 years. She’s beautiful and a badass. ❤️
Gotta appreciate that the remake made the Blob sound equally as terrifying as it appears. The roars and squeals it makes are a nice touch for an iconic monster.
Eddie's brother: Have you seen my little brother?
Eddie's parents: Where is he? Is he OK?
Kevin: Yeah, about that.
Kevin should’ve told them that because he was the first to escape the sewers
@@miketurik9404 Oops.
Edit: Just fixed it right now.
@@themovieguru1094 it’s ok
@@miketurik9404 I assume he did as soon as he got to town hall, we just don't see it.
@@BMW9661 yeah, actually wish we did see it though
I felt bad for Eddie getting eaten. We saw his mom and brother in the film and won't they be distraught to find out he's gone.
Yeah his mom would be heartbroken and his brother wouldn't forgive himself for not saving him :(
@@Mariotuber8000and when Brian shouted the truth about what the blob really is I bet his family and all the other people that lost family members to the blob and the rest of the town sued the government for having there experiment destroy there town and give them money for the losses
I wish I could go back to the ‘80s and stay there forever. Best of everything.
So you wouldn’t mind living in a 🌎 with no iPads, no iPhones 📱, no internet and no Disney +?
Blinded by nostalgia.
Including more racism and bigotry
@@jeambeam3173 probably. But innocent children don’t see it. Even if they do, they don’t fully understand it. I was a child then and didn’t know anything about a lot of ugly truths.
Meh I’d rather stay in 2010 but opinions are opinions
1:30 Might be one of my favorite "instant regret" moments. 🤣🤣
Why?
Kid in Yellow is Douglas Emerson, aka Scott from Beverly Hills 90210. The other kid is Jesse from Return of the Living Dead part 2.
This movie showed no mercy. Nobody was safe.
1:48 I think the truck turning the corner was the same one that was used to block the manhole a few scenes later. Nice way to set it up without making it super-obvious the vehicle was going to be important shortly.
One of the most iconic and well-made sci-fi horror movies till date.
I love this movie. Both the 50's and 80's versions. 👍
my god, this movie crossed SO many boundaries,,, i love it
This was legitimately thrilling, it’s not easy to work a motorcycle stunt into a horror movie without it feeling stupid or forced. Plus, obviously, the kid…
As a 5yr old watching this for the first time in 1990, this was the scariest scene for me.
0:45 scarred child me that never should have been watching this.
I have a close friend who looked a lot like Eddie when we were kids. If I saw this movie as a child, this scene would have scarred me for life.
This scene makes it crystal-clear that the blob is intelligent and malevolent.
Wow this movie still holds up. I remember back in the early 90s I owned this on VHS and would watch it at least 2 or 3 times per month for a good couple of years, lol.
The bike scene is so iconic.
0:19
she pushed her away for taking to long
I can't imagine the image effects were really good like that in 1988
It's scenes like this and the one from JAWS that make horror movies so terrifying.. it's scary for children and parents alike. Children are not invincible.
To be fair, that kid would still be alive if he listened to his parents.
In his defense, he didn't know there would be a killer alien blob on the loose
@@kidprime6863yeah who would suspect that this would even happen
PERFECT. 💋❤💛💙💜💚
This truly shows that the Blob is a sadistic creature it took the kid and could have easily taken Meg as well but didn’t and waited till she resurfaced before allowing the kid to resurface half digested to freak her out and than pull the kid back under to finish him off
Imagine if this was in a movie today? Social media would BLOW UP. 🤣
Hey, no such thing as bad publicity
si se pusieron asi con Art 2, imagínate con esta
I can't think of many movies that dared to show the death of a child.
And frankly, I can't think of any other movie that d double dog dared, the show a child dying in such a cruel and brutal way.
It's not only ballsy as fvck. But it's also realistic. The world doesn't give you a free pass, just because you're young in age.
So as cheesy as this movie kind of was, i absolutely applaud it and commend it for not discriminating against children in this respect.
Just... Jaws!!!!
Don't forget Assault on Precinct 13
Girl: "I wanted vanilla twist!"
_Gets shot_
Well, you're getting *strawberry...*
this movie is not cheesy at all..
@@ramonhenderson7484
Just...never seen Jaws! And just...don't care to!
I’ve never seen this believe it or not, I assumed the kids would be fine, I did not see that coming.
Neither did Eddie
The best yet horrifying thing about the realism: in a real life Blob situation, kids and animals are not off limits.
I remember briefly watching this with my dad when I was 6-7 back in 2011-2012. It scarred me for months afterwards.
Same. This movie was the reason why I couldn’t use the bathroom without contestant eye contact to the ceiling for years.
Shawnee Smith was my celebrity crush in the 80’s. Still looks great today.
This movie and the Day of the Triffids were my favorite horror movies growing up. They will always have a soft spot in my heart.
I watched this movie in full for the first time after it’s clips have haunted me for 10 years. Was good!
Poor kid.😬
He only wanted to go the cinema with his best friend
That poor kid. Welp! He isnt suffering now since he is dead. Although, the death was slow, painful, and horrifying.
One of nightmare.. Half melted boy died in horrible way..
This scene haunted me for so long the first time I saw it and I was in my 20s!
That mullet. Makes me giggle through the whole film.
This was such a good movie. I need to rewatch it.
Kid: “thank god I’m a kid in a horror mov-“
Grim reaper: *Racks 45. Long slide*
This movie is even better than i remember...great classic!
Has orders not to shoot but brings guns anyway 😂
They had guns to round the town citizens up. Kind of like modern day democrats forcing people to get shots.
the fact that the writers had the balls to kill a kid onscreen tho
This movie was one of the best. We don't need another remake. This one got it right.
When I watched this movie for the first time I completely didn't expected death of a kid. For this movie will forever have my respect.
The blob: *kills a kid*
Just about ever horror franchise serial killer: "Show off".
If I see the kid get grabbed like that I wouldn't have hesitated
I would have started climbing as fast as I could without looking back
this is why i hate sewers, plus the sound it made when it “roared” sounded like something out of a nightmare
Yeah it made distorted pig noises
Mane this movie terrified me as a kid ...love it as an adult though lol
Reminds me of "The Raft" story segment from Creepshow 2! Except the Blob is a moving oil slick looking mess on top of the lake.
I'm beginning to think that the old Goosebumps story, The Blob That Ate Everyone, was inspired from this.
One of the few remakes better than the original.
This scene messed me up back then because it was not only the first horror movie I've seen where a kid dies but also the fact that he went out in really horrible way too
this is one of my favorite 80s movies of all time this and the return of the living dead 🔥🔥
The remake is better than the original
@@CapedCrusador578 Yup👍
Well, both are good movies, but i really enjoy watching the remake. As a movie, it's great sci-fi horror. An instant cult classic after The Thing (1981)
It’s one of those rare times where the remake is better than the original.
@@BPDHANA The Thing (Carpenters remake) was 1982, not 1981.
@@jeffn4836 That's Right 👍
I actually spoke to one of the lead visual effects guys on this, he did visual effects on tremors too. Anyways he was actually surprised that the MPAA let him get away with this kill
You know a REAL horror movie is down serious when a kid dies to the hands...well, in this case, to a blob.
Do you think that the Thing could infect the Blob, and if so what do you think you would get?
Such a beautiful movie. ❤ still love it after all these years.
Back then when kid doesn’t have plot armor
This clip was recommended to me under that of a different video (for the movie Evolution from 2001). Do you realize, I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND THIS MOVIE FOR MORE THAN 13 YEARS!? I SAW THIS SCENE AS A KID (up till the kid jumping out of the water. Always thought it was different but not, it’s scarier than I recall) AND HAVE BEEN GOING INSANE SINCE I WAS BETWEEN 7 AND 10!
Back than when horror movies were not scared of offing anyone, regardless of age.
Everybody wanted Cavaricci pants after this.
Ah, the 80s.
Truly a golden age for horror flicks.
35 years later, and the unsettling imagery in this movie still holds up.
