'''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 later a theater camera operator. Then it gets into the theater and starts eating people, and they go screaming out. In the film's climax, the Blob is hit with fire extinguishers and is frozen solid, a harmless block of ice. Then it is taken to the Arctic where it hopefully will remain frozen forever.
