The Blob (1958): "Based On A True Story"

Spooky Tuesday — A Horror Movie Podcast

Ever heard of pwdre ser? Good, then you can help us figure out how to pronounce it. On a new episode of Spooky Tuesday, Alien Month continues with The Blob (1958), a vintage horror flick based on a true story (or at least true science). Though this movie comes highly recommended by Chelsea’s mommy, it will also win over just about any audience member in five seconds flat. Seriously — we’re pretty sure it’s impossible to hear the theme song and not immediately start shimmying and shaking along to those boppy tunes. The saxophone? The harmonies? It’s simply everything (and the rest of the film is pretty good, too).
