HORROR MOVIES TO WATCH:  THREE GREAT OUTER SPACE HORROR MOVIES

“GETTING BACK TO WHAT MAKES THIS PODCAST GREAT, TALKING ABOUT MOVIES WE LOVE AND SHARING THEM WITH YOU…”

TONIGHT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT 3 OUTER SPACE HORROR MOVIES, THE BLOB 1958, BLOB 1988, AND COLOR OUT OF SPACE, SO STAY TUNED BUT FIRST

Since two of our co-hosts are so fascinated with the Blob 1958’s sequel, let's get that out of the way before we start the show...with a Beware! the Blob (1972) showcase.

WHAT’VE WE HEARD ABOUT MOVIE AND TV HEADLINES 

  • Nightbreed TV show is on the way from Clive Barker.

  • Conan The Barbarian series is headed to Netflix.

  • Movie theatres are on life support.

  • Matthew McConaughey wrote a book.

TONIGHT’S MOVIES ARE...

THE BLOB 1958: A drive-in favorite, this sci-fi classic follows teenagers Steve (Steven McQueen IN HIS FIRST LEAD ROLE) and his best girl, Jane (Aneta Corseaut), 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 and grow to a terrifying size. But no one else has seen the goo, and policeman Dave (Earl Rowe) refuses to believe the kids without proof.

THE BLOB 1988: In a tiny California town, high school students Brian (Kevin Dillon), Meg (Shawnee Smith) and Paul (Donovan Leitch) discover a strange, gelatinous substance that melts the flesh of any living creatures in its path. The deadly substance gets into the town's sewer system, where it begins growing uncontrollably, occasionally emerging to feast on unsuspecting townspeople. A military clean-up crew is sent to eliminate the menace, but it may end up doing more harm than good.

COLOR OUT OF SPACE:  After a meteorite lands in the front yard of their farm, Nathan Gardner and his family find themselves battling a mutant extraterrestrial organism that infects their minds and bodies, transforming their quiet rural life into a technicolor nightmare.

QUESTIONS FROM OUT THERE:

"IF THE BINGE-WATCHERS PODCAST CREW WERE NINJA TURTLES, WHICH TURTLES WOULD THEY BE?"

Of course you will have to listen to hear our FAVORITE BITS, FIRST IMPRESSIONS, AND WHICH ONE OF THESE THREE MOVIES WE LOVE THE MOST

Shawnee Smith with a machine gun is awesome, the Blob effects in the 1958 version are out of this world, and there is genuine terror in the Blob 1988.

WHAT ELSE ARE THE BINGE-WATCHERS WATCHING?
 
A thriller from the 90s called Lisa, Motherless Brooklyn, Beware! The Blob, and the original Blade.
