The Blob
Paramount Pictures, 1958. U.S. poster, paper-backed, rolled. When director Irvin S. Yeaworth, Jr. and producer Jack Harris decided to make a campy monster film and capitalize on the hugely popular film trends of juvenile delinquency and science fiction, they couldn't have imagined it would ultimately become the epochal sci-fi movie of the 1950s and beyond. Amazingly, the already low-budget film came in $10,000 under budget, spawned a hit song written by Burt Bacharach and Mack David called "Beware of the Blob," helped launch Steve McQueen's career, and grossed millions of dollars at the box office.
40 x 60 in.
