Recently, I ordered Steve McQueen's "The Blob" from Neflix.

[murielm99]

It was fun to watch that corny old movie.

But then.... it got to the end....

The Air Force transports the blob to the North Pole, where it will remain frozen. The last frames of the move say, "The End," which morphs into a question mark.

Gasp! Oh Noes!

It was prophetic! It was visionary! Global warming will melt the North Pole, melt the blob, and the blob will eat us all up! They knew! They knew!

1. Those old horror movies

are a total hoot now!

Like when people are just standing there screaming instead of running away from this big old blob thing that my grandma could escape with one leg tied behind her back.

Did you ever see "The Killer Shrews"? The shrews were really dogs in shrew suits.

17. I got attacked by a shrew once.

It was on the window screen and I thought it was a moth and I got up out of bed to let it out.

That beast was vicious!

It tried to kill me. It bit me multiple times, mostly on my bare feet and ankles (no blood) before I grabbed it and tossed it outside.

[Wait Wut]

2. I haven't seen that since I was a kid!

I had once started to collect DVDs of old movies like that, but lost them all in a flood. Maybe I'll start up, again...with BluRays.

You reminded me to update my Netflix queue. I have to force the husband to watch Pitch Black and Chronicles of Riddick before we go see the new Riddick in the theater. Irritates me they aren't on instant view.

[RebelOne]

13. Yes, he definitely must watch Pitch Black and Chronicles

of Riddick. In fact, if you have not seen Pitch Black before watching Chronicles of Riddick, you would not know what is going on in that movie. I can't wait until Riddick comes out on DVD.

[Wait Wut]

14. I watched them backwards.

It was disturbing. I definitely recommend watching them in order.

Riddick will be the first movie I see in a theater since 300. I've been researching the best days/nights to go where I won't be irritated by too many people.

I can't wait! Overpriced popcorn with some chemical form of butter, $10 Snowcaps and a $15 Coke!

[HarveyDarkey]

15. "since 300"? is that BCE or AD"

Either way, damn, you're old!!!

[Wait Wut]

19. Very funny.

Smart ass.

[Scuba]

3. It was a great movie, but not as scary as "The Tingler".

[rug]

4. I can't scream!

[Scuba]

5. Then the Tingler will take over your spine!

[rug]

6. I was telling my kids about this movie for years.

We finally rented it and, after 20 minutes, each of them gave me a dirty look and left the room one by one.

I don't care. I still like it.

[Scuba]

7. What year did it come out? I was pretty small, and scared so badly I hid under my seat ...

... and got black Jujube's stuck to my clothes.

[rug]

8. 1959. You shouldn'y have hid under the seat.

Don't you remember when it kills the projectionist and starts crawling around the crowded theater?

[Scuba]

12. That's when it got me!

Vincent was perfect for those roles.

[trof]

9. Right up there with "The Attack of the Killer Tomatoes"

[LiberalElite]

11. A classic n/t

[murielm99]

18. I own that one.

There is also The Return of the Killer Tomatoes.

[LiberalElite]

10. That movie

scared the hell out of me when I was a kid - and I think I only saw the trailer. After that for some time, I was always looking over my shoulder in the apartment building hallway.

16. My very first real date with my very first boyfriend,

"The Blob" was playing at the drive in.
