A meteorite falls in the country of a small town, bringing a jelly creature. An old farmer is attacked by the alien in his hand, and the youths Steve Andrews and his girlfriend Jane Martin take him to Dr. T. Hallen. The local doctor treats carefully the blister, and asks Steve to investigate the location where they found the old man. When Steve returns, he sees the blob killing the doctor. Steve and Jane try to warn the police and the dwellers, but nobody believe on them, while the blob engulfs many people, getting bigger and bigger.

Movie Quote(s):
- [after throwing acid on the Blob] Kate, the nurse: Doctor, nothing will stop it!
-
Lieutenant Dave: Just because some kid smacks into your wife on the turnpike doesn't make it a crime to be 17 years old.
-
[On the radio to Washington] Lieutenant Dave: I think you should send us the biggest transport plane you have, and take this thing to the Arctic or somewhere and drop it where it will never thaw.
-
[last lines] Lieutenant Dave: At least we've got it stopped. Steve Andrews: Yeah, as long as the Arctic stays cold.
-
[hears dog barking] Jane Martin: I bet there is a house somewhere. 'Mooch' Miller: [laughs] It doesn't sound like a house. It sounds like a dog.
Movie Trivia:
- The last time Steve McQueen was billed as "Steven".
-
The monster is referred to as "the mass" in the shooting script.
-
Partially filmed in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania. The theater everyone is seen running from is the Colonial Theater.
-
The Blob was created with a modified weather balloon in the early shots, and in the later shots with colored silicone gel.
-
This independent production was originally picked up by Paramount for use on the bottom half of a double bill with their in-house production of I Married a Monster from Outer Space (1958). Early marketing tests and initial bookings indicated that a larger share of the ticket buyers were coming for this film rather than "I Married a Monster," so it became the main feature and more money was spent on its promotion.
