 A classic piece of 1958 Sci-Fi/Horror, (with remakes, of course!) - ''The Blob'' was a space amoeba (attached to a meteor), that crashes into Earth (near a small mid-western American Town, of course). A homeless man finds the rock and touches the gooey slime. The muck attaches itself to his hand and slowly engulfs him entirely!. The more The Blob eats , the larger it gets. Eventually this proto-plasmic Monster is almost as large as a City Block!. Nothing can stop it or harm it (bombs, bullets, etc). Our lead hero finds out that cold is The Blobs nemesis. Eventually enlisting the help of The US Military, The Blob is frozen solid (after it consumes half the Town and it's population). Taken to Antartica, it remain frozen forever. Subsequent remakes make The Blob more terrifying and menacing, but still this Monster still deserves a place in The Pathenon of Monsterology.
