This week on Slashers Podcast, Mikey, Ade, and Lance slide into one of the gooiest, gnarliest creature features of the '80s — Chuck Russell’s The Blob (1988)! This cult classic remake of the 1958 Steve McQueen original takes everything you love about practical effects horror and cranks it to 11. From exploding bodies and melting faces to small-town paranoia and government conspiracies, we break down why The Blob deserves more recognition as one of the best horror remakes ever made.
We dig into the killer special effects by Tony Gardner, discuss the strong performances from Shawnee Smith and Kevin Dillon, and dive deep into the film’s anti-authoritarian themes.
