Known as "The Movie That J.R. Shot", as Larry Hagman directed it during a few weeks off, for fun, on a small budget and with the help of his friends. The Blob is resurrected in this installment when a piece of frozen blob is brought back from the Arctic and allowed to thaw. Very soon, the bloody-red wobbler is sucking up victims by the pseudopod-full. [More]

[DVD Details]
 
 
  • The Blob returns--more outrageous than ever in this 1972 sequel to the popular sci-fi classic! Plenty of familiar faces, including Larry Hagman (who also directed), Burgess Meredith, Dick Van Patten, Robert Walker and Shelly Berman, add to the fun. A geologist (Godfrey Cambridge) unwittingly brings home an unusual frozen piece of debris from the North Pole. But when it accidentally thaws, the hungrier-than-ever blood-red Blob comes to life again, consuming nearly everyone in its path and terrorizing the town. No one is safe as it crawls into a bowling alley and oozes its way across an ice rink, becoming grotesquely bloated with the blood of its victims. Can this bizarre creature ever be stopped?!
