The Blob Wars: 1958 Classic vs 1988 Remake | Voyage

[@sonrouge]

Both are good, but I find the 1980's version more scary. I also like how the blob was portrayed as a sadistic predator that would actually chase after you.

[@AncestorEmpire1]

Parents love the 58 film But I prefer the 88 version, no safe characters and the special effects sell it.

[@germanalfaro6342]

It is an essential classic in horror cinema, a true cult film.

The moral of the "Paul is consumed" scene is to never turn your back on the door or entrance under any circumstances.

子供の頃テレビで見て好きな映画になった😂確か邦題はアメーバの恐怖でその後のブロブは映画館で見てケビィン・ディロンがかっこよかった記憶がある😊

[@richardwhite3924]

The original Blob was shot on location at Chester Springs, PA, Downingtown, PA and Phoenixville, PA. The father of a friend of mine (David Yeaworth), Irving Yeaworth Jr., was the film's director. He was also a Presbyterian minister and the majority of his other films (1956's The Flaming Teenage and 1966's Way Out) promoted Christianity as a way of life and a way to combat alcoholism and drug addiction.

[@AlbertoRodriguez-zb3iu]

One of the very few film remakes that's actually good.

Always a fan of the classic one, scared the hell out of me as a child, lol, stayed away from jelly for weeks. Love the movie til this day.

[@TecmoBowlPlayer]

It's definitely time for another blob movie or a sequel from the 88 remake.

[@caseytilley9260]

That has me thinking of what director can successfully pull this off. First person who came to mind was Leigh Whannell who did the modern remake of The Invisible Man. Saw that during covid and I enjoyed it.

[@Garth2the2ndpower]

Doubtful. Modern CGI can't compete with 88's practical effects.

[@xymos7807]

Nah. It'd be overacted to hell.

Back when people knew how to do remakes.

[@kevinslayzak1214]

Excellent job to whoever edited this.. highlights a great remake to the classic very well..shows respect 👍

[@gatike002]

In short, if no one had touched the meteorite and called the army to contain or freeze none of this would have happened, besides in the first film the blob is extremely slow

[@erikbrantner4295]

You have to either freeze it or burn the hell out of it! The newer blob movie suggests the monster was pure acid!

[@niconicodance4718]

Many years ago I talk with my cousin about this after watching TV. Maybe chemicals, electricity, fire or salt can harm it.

[@erikbrantner4295]

@@niconicodance4718 neither any of these would harm it, The only way to destroy the blob is by freezing it and then sending it to outer space to the sun which I believe was the idea in one of the movies

[@NoahrayPhilippe]

14:20 bro got sucked into the sink 😨

[@HeleniaPorter-Greer]

I like all of the new versions and old versions of the blob🔴🟥

[@fernandochavez4312]

I’ll take 1958 every time, all day long. Thanks

[@weekdaycycling]

In the 1958 version of The Blob, the creature looks more like Jell-O than an alien, and the acting throughout the film feels unnatural, with a lot of overacting. It's an old-school performance.

[@niconicodance4718]

I never watch the old version. But compare from this video, I feel the peoples of old version are too calm n not scaring enough.

[@dreamguardian8320]

Me too.

[@dreamguardian8320]

Well, maybe not all day long, but once or twice on good occasions, like Halloween.

[@germanalfaro6342]

Every time I find a video about the Blob I ask this question. In a battle between the Blob (Russell's 1988 film) V.S. The Thing (Carpenter's 1982 film) What creature would win? The Blob with its power to dissolve/absorb or the Thing with its power of assimilation??

[@miketurik9404]

The bigger question is where should the fight take place? Because the Thing was found in the Arctic and the Blob can’t go there because cold is the blob’s weakness

[@zamu2]

Funny, I actually had this same thought. I can see it going one of two ways. 1) The Blob isn't really organic so it just ends up eating the Thing and whatever it assimilated with. 2) The Thing, assimilated as a person, works with other humans to freeze the Blob before continuing to assimilate the surviving humans. So kind of a, whoever wins we lose, sort of deal.

[@dotdot5906]

​@@zamu2I like the concept of the thing uniting with people upon realizing how weak we are and how many problems do we have

I wonder why cameras back on like 2007 to 2009 KZbin had horrible Resolution however movies from the 50s had great resolution, ever questioned that?

[@Huy-G-Le]

I can't take the 1958 seriously, but the 1988 remade? that thing is a master piece, especially the political aspects of the 1980s as well as the globs thinks of the working populations just as much as the government and the military industries complex does: Live Stock.

[@mitchellalexander9162]

3:08 I mean he's Right but that's quite the Logic Jump despite it just being 'How the 50s occasionally told their stories' and got across things.

[@sirxanthor]

Just some trivia that was lost after the 1958 film. You will notice when the blob first crashes on earth, it is clear, until it attacks it's first victim. After it starts on the old mans arm, it gains a blood red tinge. This is because though the blob absorbs organic matter to increase its size, it is unable to digest the iron in animals blood. This was supposed to most likely be a key element into finding a weakness into destroying the blob, before choosing the cold as weakness. LX.

[@GabrielBoorom]

I personally loved the original up until Steve saw the doctor get eaten. Then about half the movie bored me to tears. The remake was gore effects almost from start to finish, until the military thought they could fight the Blob and took it head on. By then, it was too strong and chaos ensued in seconds. Both endings with freezing the Blob were a bit of a letdown (I personally liked the ending of Son of the Blob better), but it was a satisfying climax.
