I have never quite recovered from seeing "The Blob" when I was a kid. Blob stories give me a panic attack.

"panic attack"

I didn't see it when it came out (didn't have the money), but I distinctly remember some kid who saw it describing the flick. I remember being scared just by the thought of the blob sweeping through my town and sucking up everyone and everything in its path. At that age (seven), just thinking about those horror flicks scared the fecal matter out of me. I did see "Rodin" when I was seven. Scared the @@#@ out of me for two years. Then I saw it thirty years later on tv. Laughed all the way through at the cheesy effects.
