Indescribable… indestructible… nothing can stop The Blob, appearing in a FREE SCREENING in celebration of our Board President Laura Vasquez’s birthday!

Teenagers Steve (Steve McQueen) and his best girl, Jane (Aneta Corseaut) try to protect their hometown from a gelatinous alien life form that engulfs everything it touches. The first to discover the substance and live to tell about it, Steve and Jane witness the blob destroying an elderly man, then it growing to a terrifying size. But no one else has seen the goo, and policeman Dave refuses to believe the kids without proof, well before the blob makes itself known to the world at large.

The first film to feature McQueen in a lead role, The Blob is a timeless tale of amoeboidal terror and a perfect retro horror classic to catch on the big screen!

The Blob screens Sunday, July 9th.
Sunday, July 9 – 7:30pm
