Back in the days when young kids could hop a bus for a dime and go to town to a theater to watch all day monster movies for a quarter, I saw The Blob and it scared me to death. I couldn’t sit on the toilet for a month without constantly hopping up and looking for the monster coming up.

The theme song to The Blob is a pretty catchy lighthearted tune.
Very enjoyable, but completely disjointed from the movie.

I watched most of it from the space between the seats in front of me.

Sounds like my experience going to Saturday movies at the Fox Venice theater with my older sister.

All those classic old sci-fi and horror films.

War of the Worlds had me scared to look at the windows i the dark.
