The Blob is back in this horrific tale about a vile, malignant life-form that crashes to Earth in a cozy, rural American town called Arborville. Untroubled by conscience or intellect, the Blob does only one thing – and it does it well. It eats anything and everything that moves: men, women, and children. And tonight it wants to swallow the town of Arborville. The original version of The Blob thrilled and terrified audiences back in the 1950s. Now the oozing, gooey killer is back with a whole new high-tech look. What was once only suggested now comes to life with state-of-the-art special effects in the tradition of such thrilling remakes as The Thing and The Fly.

This ShoutFactory.com exclusive offer contains the following items:

  • The Blob [Collector’s Edition] 2-disc 4K UHD/Blu-ray set (with slipcover — featuring the original theatrical artwork)
  • Limited edition 18” x 24” rolled poster of original theatrical artwork
  • An additional slipcover — made exclusively for this promotion — featuring new artwork from artist Devon Whitehead
  • An exclusive, limited edition 36” x 24” rolled poster — made exclusively for this promotion — of the newly-designed art from artist Devon Whitehead

The Blob will release on 4K Ultra HD on October 17th.
