Concept art from Rob Zombie’s abandoned remake of The Blob

September 2, 2019 by Gary Collinson

Back in 2009, after he’d finished up with his Halloween remake, it was reported that musician-turned-filmmaker Rob Zombie would be turning his attention to another classic horror, signing on to direct a remake of 1958’s The Blob (which was itself remade in 1988). The movie never came to fruition, but now thanks to artist Alex Horley (via Bloody-Disgusting), we’ve got a look at some concept art which shows what Zombie had in mind for the film…

Zombie has previously explained why he abandoned his plans, stating that: “The Blob was going to happen. I was dealing with people on the movie, even though I was on the fence about doing anything that was considered a remake again. I really didn’t like the idea of that, but just as I went down the road further with the producers and the guys that owned the property, I didn’t feel good about the situation and I just walked away from it. My gut told me this was not a good place to be.”
