A drive-in favorite, this sci-fi classic follows teenagers Steve and his best girl, Jane, as they try to protect their hometown from a gelatinous alien life form that engulfs everything it touches. The first to discover the substance and live to tell about it, Steve and Jane witness the blob destroying an elderly man, then it growing to a terrifying size. But no one else has seen the goo, and policeman Dave refuses to believe the kids without proof.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie is a pure science fiction/horror film. There is no evidence that the plot, setting, iconography, or resolution is connected to the Christmas season. The single detected element, 'Belief/Faith,' is a general theme not exclusive to or emphasized by Christmas."
