Description

A cult classic of gooey greatness, The Blob follows the havoc wreaked on a small town by an outer-space monster with neither soul nor vertebrae, with Steve McQueen (The Great Escape) playing the rebel teen who tries to warn the residents about the jellylike invader. Strong performances and ingenious special effects help The Blob transcend the schlock sci-fi and youth delinquency genres from which it originates. Made outside of Hollywood by a maverick film distributor and a crew whose credits mostly comprised religious and educational shorts, The Blob helped launch the careers of McQueen and composer Burt Bacharach, whose bouncy title song is just one of this film’s many unexpected pleasures.

Description

*This listing is for the standard edition version and does NOT come with a limited edition slipcase!* 50,000,000 juvenile delinquents can't be wrong! Featuring four rumble-ready features (all preserved from the Something Weird DigiBeta and S-VHS masters, as the original film elements are lost, decayed, or inaccessible), TEENAGE RIOT VIDEO PARTY is a campy ode to mid-century teenage turmoil. Remember: "This will affect every parent and teen in the entire world . . . because it's real!" LOST, LONELY, AND VICIOUS (1958, 72 mins, B&W) Filmed in the wake of James Dean’s death, this noir-ish slice of Dean-spolitation is the best movie about Hollywood ever made in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. JACKTOWN (1962, 58 mins, B&W) Feeling like a gaudy juvenile delinquent paperback come-to-life, this teen prison expose was filmed on the sleazy streets of Michigan and features a role from Patty McCormack (THE BAD SEED). THE FLAMING TEEN-AGE (1956, 69 mins, B&W) Jesus (kind of) saves in this "true story" about drugs and salvation from Irvin S. Yeaworth, a maker of 16mm religious shorts who would later direct THE BLOB. THE NARCOTIC STORY (1958, 78 mins, Color) This outrageous amalgam of classroom scare films and nasty exploitation was produced by a company called Police Science—so you know it's legit. Bonus Features: 1. LOST, LONELY, AND VICIOUS, JACKTOWN, & THE FLAMING TEEN-AGE: Preserved from the original 2000s Something Weird DigiBeta masters 2. THE NARCOTIC STORY: Preserved from the original 1990s Something Weird S-VHS master 3. Riotous trailers and drive-in snipes 4. Promotional gallery 5.
