| | '''The Blob''' is the title of a 1954 film starring Steve McQueen and Aneta Corsaut. Its plot involves a meteor which falls near the small town of Downington, Pennsylvania. An old man pokes it open with a stick and finds a small, jelly-like mass inside. It slides up the stick and onto his hand, and turns out it is a living parasite. Two teenagers are out on a drive when they pick him up and take him to the doctor's office. There it dissolves the old man completely and then the nurse and eventually the doctor. Growing bigger with each victim, the terrible "Blob" continues by consuming a mechanic and then a janitor in Steve Andrew's father's grocery store. It follows him and his girlfriend (Corsaut) into the back room, but won't enter the freezer. Then it goes to the Colonial Theater and eats the man running the projector, and then busts through the wall. People run screaming as the Blob eats more victims, and then it emerges from the theater and engulfs a diner. Eventually, they learn that it can't stand cold, so they hit it with a bunch of carbon dioxide, which freezes it into a harmless block of ice. Then it is shipped to the Arctic. | | '''The Blob''' is the title of a 1954 film starring Steve McQueen and Aneta Corsaut.
