- Depending on which decade it is, The Blob is a creature of homegrown origins that gains quasi sentience through becoming a larger organism and then begins hunting down humans. However, how it is able to do this and what exact micro organism it is, is never really discussed. But we dont do that here! So in todays episode, We will be discussing what it is, where it comes from, how it got to be capable of achieving what it does now and what it does to the human body when it does begin its digestion process!
Thank you for watching Roanoke Gaming and I hope you enjoy The Mutated Bacteria in The Blob Explained | Origins and Genetic Profile Explored

Looking for more Mutated Earth Creatures from Space, check out Harbinger Down (2015). Trust me this movie is the Most Unique like The Blob and The Thing.
I would have loved if you review Midnight Mass, but the vampires in that series are too similar to the Daybreakers vamps, so there's really no reason for you to do that now.
Hey my dude!
Fun fact: The 5 pound silicone used for the Blob in the original movie from the 50's has yet to dry out, and is stored in a lil' 5 pound bucket. Also, the town in which the original movie was filmed in hosts an annual Blob fest, in which one of the events is recreating the iconic scene where a hoard of frighten people run from a packed movie theater that the Blob had invaded.
My dad and I like to watch movies on Fridays, and one of those movies was the original Blob. A cheesy B-list movie turned A-list, definitely worth checking out c: Most certainly fascinating to learn about what the creature may realistically be!
James Rolfe (avgn) actually did a video on this XD
You mean the original Blob can still be used in another film?! I mean, they wouldn't, but it would look just as good as it did back then?
@@Bluesit32 I cannot report on how clean the Blob is, but... Potentially! Lol
Fun fact about the 50's blob, it was Steve McQueen's first leading role. He of course would then go on to become one of Hollywood's biggest A-list actors.
Yeah, I got a little bit of info about the movie and a precious memory!
“..the powerhouse of the cell. The Mitochondria!”

@@RoanokeGaming I eagerly await for you to do Parasite Eve, I hope you know. It’s my favorite game of all time.
@@UberBunneh Yes!!! Honestly the first one was my favorite because of the original battle system. Beat the entire game with a club and pistol.
@@RoanokeGaming Great minds think alike
To this movie's credit, the phone booth scene/death is one of the most gruesome and terrifying moments I've seen in a B-movie.
I think Paul’s death is a little more horrific to me, just because it looks to painful, but the phone booth is also super terrifying! I don’t know what they used to make the blob in the 80’s but it looks so good with the digesting faces still kind of moving in it, I’m sure CGI is easier in the long run but there’s something so visceral about the effects we see here.
Yeah, when I saw it when I was a child it freaked me the fuck out.
Every death in this movie is fucked: the booth, which immediately follows the guy getting sucked into a drain, the homeless guy and the boyfriend, the kid getting killed, the pillar of blob that smooshes a bunch of fleeing people. fucked start to finish
@@AllfatherBlack I would say the people getting crushed would have been pretty quick.
@@AllfatherBlack the drain one was more funny than scary
The fact that anyone who gets absorbed is at least partially still alive until they're completely digested is another level of disturbing. Imagine suffering for all that time until you're digested enough to die.
Blacking out from the pain would definitely be a mercy. But yeah, imagine half drowning while the Blob is digesting your lungs...
Seeing Paul getting consumed by the blob slowly is the most disturbing thing in Horror movie history
Yeah, when I think of horrifically violent but amazingly executed practical effects, that's the scene I think of.
Just think, as the blob ate Paul, so too did Paul eat the movie's special effects budget.
It's not even that slow...he got like poured on with with highly caustic acid.
I second this. I still just look away every time it comes on screen in the video XD I wanna sleep tonight thank you
@@heheheiamderpmatter375 Honorable mention to Jeff Goldblum's final transformation to "The Fly"
Fun Fact? The idea behind The Blob is actually based upon H.P. Lovecraft's "The Colour out of Space." A completely alien, amorphous malady from the stars that comes to terrorize and consume the hapless community it chances to land in.
Yes! Makes sense😂
The set up for sure is like the color out of space. But the monster is totes a Shoggoth from hp Lovecrafts "the mountains of madness". Which also partially inspired John carpenter for "the thing" (at least inspired the monster special effects).
The idea for the blob was based on a real life event it was discovered by police officers in a wooded field and they touched it and it disappeared
This movie traumatized me so badly as a kid that I still wont stand near the shower drain and having to clear a sink drain makes my heart race....good times XD
Are you sure it wasn't some bad cocaine Mr rock n roll clown
Same
I build drains
I had nightmares of the moans from the half eaten girl on the theater's floor. I was like 5-6
Me too!!
"They put him in a room and then just sort of like, leave him there..."
They were way ahead of their time with that one. Super realistic depiction of modern day E.R. The only real mistake they made, was they didn't make him sit in the waiting room for 3+ hours.
please do not poke the blob with a stick you'll regret it
😂
@@SaraMorgan-ym6ue You probably won't. In the beginning, we see the can man and motorcycle boy interacting and the can man homeless dude is heavily... on the spectrum, as you kids say these days.

@@rcash9131 because the "Lifestyles" brand of condom is so prone to breaking you might as well not use one...

I always thought the Blob monster was one of the freakiest creatures in cinema, right up there with the Thing and slither aliens.
Its an unfeeling blob that moves alarmingly fast lol I feel you

8:30 Given that the Blob is kinda sentient, I always consider that it might just be taunting the receptionist in this scene.
"Oh? The sheriff? This ONE?"
I thought the same, much like how it went after Meddows immediately after Meddows attempted to convince everybody he had the situation under control
Home slime is alive
I think it is definitely sentient and even able to troll you: see the scene with Scott the pervert in the car.
A sentient amorphic being? reminds me of the Ancient Enemy in Ben Affleck's Phantoms.
@@w415800 Isn't it like the green blob guy in The Orville?
What if the original experiment that resulted in the Blob wasn't for making a weapon, but altering astronauts specifically to stand up to radiation in space, first tested on bacteria, but the flawed gene repair caused it to turn into a giant unkillable tumor
why bacteria do not need radiation to make them reproduce like mad and they don't make a giant tumor they just eat you alive from the inside out they make real world slime inside you to eat you alive cause the real world has made your worse nightmares a reality already try not to cry😇
That'd be a good plot if the movie gets remade again. No malicious intentions, just good old human stupidity creating a problem by trying to solve a problem.
Hell yeah! Next to The Thing one of the most gruesome movie monsters of all time. Now you gotta do a genetic analysis of the Brundlefly to complete the “Great ‘80s Horror Remakes” trifecta.
Leviathan and deep star 6 are another two movies with pretty gruesome creatures
Amogus: the movie but among us didn't exist yet
The Thing and The Blob are both S tier practical effects movies❤️
The Thing is one of my favorite Sci fi horror movies. The remake. The props and special effects are truly fantastic for the time. I highly enjoy the blob as well. 🤝👍
@@LunalovaniaGaming I got worried omg I thought you meant the messy cgi remake from a while ago but realized the one most known and praised is a remake too xD
"Use the brain between your ears." Papa Roanoke dishing out that classic life advice there.
Fairly sure I may have seen this film myself once back in the day, but apparently I remember very little of it, so thanks for the reminder.
Committing sexual assault doesn't require intent, although the intent was CLEARLY there for that creep... all it requires is one person being a complete idiot and the other not being in a sound state of mind.

Plot untwist: the reverend was always evil, I mean he speaks of judgement day and holds a means to an end, he will 100% use it on people who disagree with him and for his personal gain, while dying in the process because he is a brainlet
Sounds about right.
You know that movie jason x jason in space......ya blob three, its free!. It escapes the jar after years of hearing a religious nutcase praying and yammering about being a god cleansing the world of evil . . . . Etc.

@@spregged7231 Cringe
I wrote an essay years ago where I proposed the idea that The Blob was actually an early evolutionary stage of the creature in The Thing.
Individual single cell organisms coming together in a greater mass that can attack and devour other organisms, but absent the ability to shape its cells to imitate other life forms.
I knew that car scene looked familiar
❤
You could argue the Colonel pulled the pins on the grenades to die a faster, less painful death than getting eaten alive by the Blob rather than trying to hurt the Blob.
Me: Why no mention of feet at all?!?
Roanoke: "cytoplasm is basically the foot of the cell"
Me: ah...there it is...
can bullets piss a blob off or would it just be going at them unphased by the bullets cause it's hungry and bullets don't do anything to the blob at all
@@raven4k998 bullets do not effect the blob because....he's a giant hungry bob but yeah it confirmed the bullets REALLY made it angry.
Even after all these years, seeing the effects in this movie makes me feel nauseous.
I saw this movie when I was a kid and I was always terrified there was gonna be a blob in my bathroom waiting to attack me
I remember thinking it was just a single big amoeba. But now that i think about it that wouldnt really work with the plotline of a small part of it being able to live on.
Just 1 question: how the heck does it move nutrients or oxygen if it’s just a clump of bacteria?
@sp0777iXdlMLalN0dsXxlMlNdsM0jdsj at the beginning it’s small, but afterwards? It’s freaking enormous and it doesn’t have any sort of circulatory system so… movie science I guess
Maybe a colony of mutated ameba
@@alessioughetta3677 Many bacteria do not need oxygen for their cellular processes, like gut bacteria or ground bacteria.
Moving the mass around would already mix nutrients, but bacteria also have flagelle that they use for propulsion through a substance. Many bacteria using their flagella could propel liquid past them throughout the blob mass, distributing the nutrients as well
@@charchadonto idk it kinda feels like the closest bacteria would consume all the nutrients instantly. After all, they duplicate so fast that they must be doing that
Personally I've always felt that being eaten alive on a cellular level is one of the most horrifying ways to die. Would you even go into shock in time for it to be merciful-ish?
Loving the content. Can't wait for the next one
As long as it didn’t have a way to shut down your internal signaling, you’d probably die of shock fairly fast once it was big and acidic enough.
The human shock response (which comes in many delightful flavors depending on how it was induced) just kind of “nopes” us out when sufficient trauma is experienced. Your vascular system tries to slow down blood loss, but your adrenal system is trying to speed up blood flow leading to a massive dip in blood pressure, pretty much flipping your “off” switch.
You aint wrong
Not going to lie, I laughed at the whole "You didn't decon' your suit!" and immediately out loud said "That's just a pandemic with extra steps."
the whole thing about the suits is that the scientists foolishly think it can protect them from the blob
@@omegarugal9283 Actually, it's to prevent the blob from sensing them as the blood hunts people through means other than sight and sound. basically it was to mask their bio signatures.
Fun story: When my mom was little, her older brothers were absolutely evil and made her watch this movie. She was already terrified, but then they started attacking her with jello leading my mom to have a severe fear of it for a lot of her childhood.
Aw that advice in the beginning was so wholesome.
Use the upstairs brain before the downstairs one lol
During the condom scene?...I mean you can just skip that step and be gay. Its so much easier in my opinion.
@@SavvyKitten666 Honestly its so much easier, 11/10
@@SavvyKitten666 gays can still catch stds, and in fact they catch them more often because less of them use protection
@@elgringosupremo Kinda depends. Most people should have the common sense to get tested as well have their partner tested any time when starting a new relationship. Whether they or their partner say they are clean. Sadly people don't have common sense these days.
Honestly. I thought the blob behaved like an amoeba more than bacteria. Especially given it can be seen grabbing people by extending its biomass like a tentacle.
Did you watch the video? He explains that that. Do that too.
Yes a ratchet one
I’ve never screamed so hard in my life when the pharmacist’s identity was revealed!
I remember saying OOF

He should've started swinging 😢
Americans: Make a bioweapon to defeat Russia.
Bioweapon: weak to cold
Russians: Laughs in blizzard.
I have known about this movie for years including the weakness and never thought about this until know.
Bruh XD
That's...a very fair point. Though, I imagine that if it was dropped on Soviet soil in the Spring, it could kill quite a few before the first snowfall.
Remember the blob attaches to people, it’s very possible that the blob would be a perfect weapon because it would wipe out huddled population only to disappear only leaving behind bacterial DNA in a largely turn of the century medical establishment.
Napoleon and Adolf; You didn't plan for the cold, did you?
@@Drew_Thompson You mean the weakness was intentional? I could see that as it would make for a practical containment after it does its job. The one problem is that if the Russians decided to pack up and leave say to Siberia or even other countries such as Finland it would only last until Winter and it may take awhile for it to thaw out.
The practical monster effects in this movie were so good. I put it up there with The Thing, the Xenomorph, the Predator, and the American Werewolf in London.
"The powerhouse of the cell... the Mitochondria!"
Finally, I can put my American education to use for once!
Blob is just a kingdom come meme taken to another level.
Interesting perspective on that lol
Nice vid btw.
I think that would be "the stuff"
The part where that poor boy got nabbed by the blob in the sewer before screaming with his hands reaching out for help as he was digested stuck with me for a long time. It was the first time I'd seen a kid die in any media, and I was pretty young myself at the time. For whatever reason, it had never occurred to me before that kids can die too. Granted, I respect the film for being bold enough to go that far but can't imagine what agony being melted alive like that would be. It's a nasty way to go. On another note, this remains the youngest that I've ever seen Kevin Dillion, Shawnee Smith or Jeffrey DeMunn onscreen.
Kids dying in horror films...Well,you might want to skip JAWS,when a kid gets eaten by the shark and the Chief sees it happening.
@@thedragonlee76 Jaws was one of my first horror films and remains one of my favorite movies ever made. I don't remember exactly when I first saw the scene of poor little Alex Kintner's death, but I'm fairly certain I saw The Blob's remake first. There's a possibility I could be misremembering, but I'm like 60% sure?
The latter affected me more though, which is probably why I mentioned it, largely because we see the damage more clearly with effects detailing the melting skin. I'd never seen that on a child character before. While Alex's fate was equally tragic, I'd argue it was less gruesome in context of what we actually see onscreen.
We never see bites or a corpse (The censors obviously wouldn't have allowed it). It was all pretty deliberately clouded by that fountain of his blood in the ocean when the shark takes him down, and we only briefly see him being dragged underwater before he disappears. From one POV, that's scarier because our imaginations fill in the blanks.
Nonetheless, The Blob's remake left more of a visual impression on me.
@@Justmyhandle I've seen THE BLOB remake many times I thought it kicked ass on how they explained what it was.Now,the kid getting eaten in JAWS,well...There was always a horror movie rule and rule was that kids don't get killed by the monster/killer and Spielberg broke that rule to shock the audience.
Well, it was digesting the grass, and even the surface of the wooden table, so I think the Blob can digest plant material and cells, but prefers the relative ease of digesting animal proteins. Also as you said, it may be detecting something that causes it to go after animals as a kind of response to them more as opposed to just eating a forest.
I think it is!
I might be after the chemicals produced by brains, that fact victims are still alive until completely digested indicates it migh be feeding kn a the fght or flight chemicals like adrenaline
Maybe plant fibers are a lot harder to break down compared to human cells?
@@cujoedamanthis would actually make a lot of sense, possibly;
Plants cells have these sort of walls instead of the gooier membranes of animal cells. It would probably have to break down the cell wall for every individual cell, which could (understandably) take a while.
@@drawndreary That sounds about right, I remember something about plants being harder to digest than meat. I could be completely wrong too.
That scene with the cook getting dragged through the drain has stuck with me for 15 years. I am 22 and I still kinda stare at drains waiting lol
If the priest was able to pick up some frozen chunks and when they thawed out went back to normal, wouldn't the same thing happen to the rest of the blob after it was frozen by the ice truck?
They took it to the ice house at the end of the movie
Sequel?
In the 50s original, they airlift it to the arctic.
Not necessarily, being frozen, if not done nearly instantly will rupture cell walls and destroy organelles. Even if some of it survived, the remaining bits would likely be eaten by other bacteria or starve, or both.
they did send it to the artic in the end
It's horrifying to thinks that out of all of these deaths the guy who got pulled headfirst down the drain probably had the most merciful one as his brain would have been destroyed before he had time to realize what was happening.
Can we take a moment to appreciate howaazing these special effects were? They still hold up to this day.
Man i love this Chanel, it's a perfect combination of movie recap and scientific analysis, the perfect combination! ( sorry for my bad english, i'm from a Portuguese speaking nation )
Your English is great don't apologize for it.
I legit had to double take and start questioning my sanity if I've left a comment here before after seeing your profile picture.
Here's my question. If the Blob's main weakness is the cold, and extreme low temperatures can cause cellular destruction to most(if not all) organic beings, then how in the frozen hell is it able to survive being turned into rock-candy ice cubes?
Maybe they weren't frozen for long enough to be significantly damaged/destroyed?
Did you not read the title its a bacteria not an ameba bacteria can survive freezing temperatures an simply lay dormant
Roanoke: gets blasted with copyright
also Roanoke: money is for the nonsmart people who don't start with the feet!
I remember as a kid in the early 90's going with my dad to visit one of his friends and this was playing on the TV. Despite multiple concussions and amnesia the memories of seeing a few scenes from this movie towards the end stuck with me. Particularly the bit about freezing it.
I was about to watch this, but then you mentions Trolls 2 and I had to just go watch that instead, for now. Here's a like 👍
I need to cover trolls 2 as well lol
The sonic boom would disoriant him? Dude the size of that thing would probably annihilate him on impact....
The Blob was a difficult enemy to defeat.
I gave steroids to an Anaconda long enough that it was large enough to swallow the Blob, and then it digested it slowly for weeks.
That sounds like something that would happen in a DnD campaign.

Also a strange suggestion. But maybe the Zombieism in Minecraft would be interesting to look into? It’s kinda more on the disease side of things I think since Villagers are able to be cured.

You know, I'm really upset with the portrayal of poking things with sticks in movies. It's just not true to life. If you think about all of human scientific advancement it has come mostly from the poking of things in various ways with more and more sophisticated versions of sticks.
Though in this movie the whole idea is that science can be turned on us, so I suppose it is on brand.
The first experiment, poking things with sticks.
This is a great channel you've got here.

Finally some Blobbage! I remember when this movie traumatized me as a kid. Such good memories. And now you're doing a video on it! Props dude for reminding me of my past trauma!
Speaking of cancers and communication breakdown between the cell and mitochondria a process has been adapted from neuroscience, called optogenetics, that can be used to create light sensitive ion channels which, as of 2016, was shown to not only prevent tumor growth but also reverse it over about 24 hours. I find it fascinating that a way has been found to not only basically say "dude, can you not?" to cancerous cells but get said cells to go "Ah, sorry my bad lemme fix that" by flashing blue lights at them. I don't know how far the research has progressed since then (if at all) but it sounds like a massive leap forward that could be applicable to other fields involving rogue cells like certain autoimmune diseases.
To be fair, the poke-it-with-a-stick mentality is an effective teacher about what REALLY bad ideas can cause.
I got blown seeing this.. Lincoln Cinema... Lincoln Mall..85!.. thank you Kim!!!
Great run down!!!
im obsessed with your channel! thanks so much for making them, love the scientific breakdown of the topics
Meg was able to set the charges, but cause she saw the army guy do it as he threw them into the sewer - there was a cut out to her in a group as he did it, hence she knew what to do. The movie is smartly written, almost everything is set up for the payoff:)
Idea for another movie creature: the Judas breed from the Mimic movies!
YYYYYYEEEEEEEESSSSSS! I’ve been waiting for you to do The Blob for so long. Love your videos man!
Ahhhh a shoutout for the hydrohomies! Love you even MORE now Roanoke, keep the excellent content rolling friendo!
I remember watching this movie when it came out. I was around 12 or 13 and I was really scared shitless. The effects were done so well for the time. Great horror movie. I'll have to watch it again to see how well it still holds up.
Radiation in space might not have been crucial to making the blob, it could have been a reaction that requires less gravity to occur.
One of my favorite 80's films. So excited to watch Roanoke's breakdown.
Love your content dude
Every Chapter Title is an absolute treat :)
Another great video. I always thought it was some kind of bioweapon made by aliens. You should also cover the sea monster in deep rising, another monster from my childhood nightmares.
The 1958 version its an alien bacteria, the 1988 version its us and I can check out deep rising!
This film scared me as a kid. But the effects on the monster is just so amazing!!
another example of Roanoke's best jokes being in the chapter titles. I love them
I absolutely love the way you explain this. Are you a bio-chemist? Seriously I have been binge watching your videos all day!
I remember watching this movie, yeah it was cheesy but honestly the blob and the human digestion effects easily made this movie such a fun watch.
Though as a future suggestion could you do the motaba virus from the outbreak? I’m really curious of your analysis over the virus and how it works.
I love 80s practical effects
@@RoanokeGaming shame we don’t really see these kinds of practical effects being used in modern movies nowadays.
Love the channel! I'm hooked. Ever consider doing Outbreak? Not the craziest of movie illnesses but definitely seems like it'd be up your alley!
omg thank you for this. i was wondering if you were gonna cover this one
Amazing as always, you could do more RE videos! Dimitrescu daughters, C-virus, I'm also loving the SCP series, good job!
Hey Roanoke! Can you do a video on the parasites and archaea of Metal Gear Solid 5? Theres A LOT of super weird lifeforms on that game! The vocal cord parasites that can kill entire languages, metallic archaea that can make enriched uraniun, skin parasites that make photosintesis! MGS V also has the BEST gameplay of stealth-action games, I recomend playing it!
I feel like all there would be to say is "that's not how it works, that's impossible, and what?"
Gameplay is great, but Kojima just makes up crazy shit. Sometimes he just makes up crazy shit as an excuse to show off his girlfriend (the skin parasite)
@@Michael-bn1oi Indeed, the skin parasite dont make any sense, but the vocal cord parasites, wolbachia treatment, and using metallic archaea as bioweapons are incredibly interestig!
That's how quiet was made
From what I seen of his uploads videos I don’t think he ever will he doesn’t seem interested in touching anything non pop culture sci fi American made he seems to be THAT TYPE The POP CULTURE 🇺🇸 TYPE non universal stuff of other outside awesome entertainment culture creators sources of sci fi
Like it would have been awesome to see him touch analysis on the
Alien parasite guna from knights of sidonia
Or
the created mutation blue from blue gender!
Or
the alien 👽 beta of muv luv alternate eclipse!
Oh will It is what it is I guess
Sorry just a man of outside culture rambling on here lol
Ps metal gear soild 5 may have the best gameplay but the worst story and cuts out of the entire saga just saying But I do agree with ya the vocal parasite thing was really interesting.
Having a breakdown of Troll 2 actually sounds really dope.
Very underrated movie and the visual and special effects still hold up. Nice job!
Aside from the scientists, one thing that doesn't make sense in this film is how the kid didn't know he was going on a date with the pharmacists daughter. In small towns everyone knows everyone.
This movie came on late night once and absolutely messed me up as a kid. Thanks for another awesome deep dive.
Also, I’ve been hearing really conflicting reports about diet drinks, insulin levels, and weight gain. I work in healthcare, I lift regularly, and try to eat relatively well, so this topic is of interest. Several studies I’ve read seem to suggest the opposite of what you said, can you elaborate a bit on what info you know/where you found it? Thanks!
What he said is right but only in very strict conditions and also in rats. Sadly it's kinda like the alpha wolf study, which has been debunked and proven wrong, its popularity still out shines the facts.
What we know is if you drink eat the same meal consistently for a month with regular soda and then do the same with diet you will lose weight with the diet. You also can't ignore all the problems with processed sugar and HFCS. So even if you assume the diet myth is true, you're still probably better off with artificial sweeteners.
Even if you look back 5 years ago the claim was diet soda caused 1 diabetes (another rat study) and 2 cancer (not sure on the origin) but as more studies are done that debunk these the "goal post" moves.
That said water is obviously the best choice but we all have our vices.
Loved the video. See you at the re upload tomorrow.
Love your videos Roanoke👍
I’m really glad your covering the blob, the original 1958 one was filmed in my home town
Yo another guy from Phoenixville!
This was a great video that explains and expands alot of the movie,I watched all of the 3 Blob movies and the reboot version is my favorite by being terrifying and the most unique,I would have love to continue this movie franchise,but I think is best not to do it since not all reboots and remakes can be good or better than the original.
The Blob and The Thing are the best remakes ever in my opinion.
From all the chanels I am subscribed too, this one is and will always be my favorite. Thanks Roanoke.
Ayyyyy absolutely bro!
I've never been so confused by science talk but also so pleased? xD Thanks for making this video!
I remember I watched this movie when I was 4... Yep. I sneaked up to parents room and watched the movie from a corner, so they didn't see me =D I had nightmares later and was very afraid of sewer lids, water drains and such =) That was great!
18:12 mitochondria - the powerhouse of the cell, school knowledge is real
great video has always.
also the music of a certain game was a very good choice.
And let`s hope for no takedown from youtube this time.
FINALLY! I was wondering when you get to this movie. One of my personal favorites. The 1988 film scared the crap out of me when I was younger. The diner attack scene is one of my absolute favorites.
May be worth looking into The Beast from Homeworld Cataclysm at some point, it'd be interesting to see your thoughts on what it does to people.
I remember seeing this movie when I was too little to see it, and the phone booth scene terrorized me so bad.
Still gives me the heebee-jeebees today tbh.
This is the best way to learn, and no one can tell me otherwise!!
I am honestly impressed how your able to make sense of this
I watched this as a little kid, absolutely traumatized me lol the 80s were awesome
That goop joke had me. Absolutely perfect reference she's insane.
Another great video. Always enjoyed the 80s remake of the Blob. For spooky October you could give the creature from the 1998 movie Phantoms a shot assuming there's time. Not sure how much biology is involved with it though considering what it's made of. Anyway keep up the videos. I'm watching no matter what you choose to do.
Nobody gonna mention how our boy fired a LAW straight upwards in a cramped space, but somehow hasn’t been killed or the least bit injured by backblast? Or for that matter the pressure wave from the actual warhead.
