Plot

The film begins when a pipe layer named Chester (Cambridge) returns from the arctic and brings back with him a small sample of a mysterious frozen substance. He puts the strange material in his freezer, but his wife lets it thaw on the kitchen counter and the blob is revived. It starts by eating a fly, then a kitten, then Chester and his wife. Lisa (Gilford) watches as the alien organism consumes one of its victims, but cannot get anyone, even her boyfriend Bobby (Walker), to believe her. Meanwhile the rapidly-growing creature quietly preys upon the town. Some of its victims include a cop, two hippies, a barber (who charges one of his customers $400 for a haircut), and some transients (one of whom is played by director Hagman). The now-massive blob invades a skating rink and is finally stopped when Bobby activates the rink's ice mechanism, freezing it. At the very end of the movie, while being filmed by a television crew, a lamp is knocked over, melting a small portion, though no other sequel was made. The Blob was re-made though, and did quite well in the box office.
