The Blob (1958)
directed by Irvin S. Yeaworth Jr. and Russell S. Doughton Jr. (uncredited)
starring Steve McQueen, Aneta Corsaut, Earl Rowe
An alien lifeform consumes everything in its path as it grows and grows.
This was the last time Steve McQueen was billed as "Steven".
The title song "The Blob" was co-written by Burt Bacharach. Paramount
tapped Bacharach and Mack David (brother of Hal David) to come up with
a non-threatening theme that would prevent the faint of heart from going
into nostril-flaring terror during the opening credits.
