The Blob Opening Credits with Original Score

The Blob (Steve McQueen version) was released theatrically with a goofy pop song "Beware of the Blob" played over the opening credits. (Side note: this song was composed by Burt Bacharrat). I'm sure this was done as the song was probably played on the radio to promote the film.

Here is the opening credits with the original score. It really changes to tone of the film from kitchy to genuinely scarey, which the film is

I respectfully disagree. The blob is a grade-A horror film that is genuinely creepy. The pop song was only to tie in to the marketing. I find it distracts from the gravitas.

we are watching this movie in history class, the graphics r so bad its funny

[drgojira]

graphics?  This is 1958...no graphics back then. They created a real live blob in the lab and set it loose...

Uh, yea. It certainly looks like it. Greenie's is only a month earlier than yours, but it is first. Coincidence much? I don't think so. I'm gonna flag.

[drgojira]

Wow...what are the the odds that there's more than one person who loves the Blob and good soundtracks? Coincidence...timed with the release of the soundtrack...get over it. Like Volcano & Dante's Peak coming out the same year...these things

Uh, excuse me, but you didn't by chance just steal my version of this, letterbox it, and put your name to it did you? A lot of that going around on here.

[drgojira]

Uh, no. I mixed the music and video myself. I guess I shoulda checked You Tube first to see if anyone else had this before I spent my time. Paranoid much?

@tylrswftrox33 The movie isn't about the effects, it's about the characters and story. Steve McQueen is so great in this movie he deserved an Oscar.

@tylrswftrox33

You have no idea how lucky you were. My high school classes showed the "Wonders of Elections" and the "JFK Assassination."

[Kenou]

@drgojira I actually like this MUCH better

[DeadJerker]

Aw. man. The song is the best part of the original version of _The Blob_. "It creeps, it leaps, it glides, it slides..."

[tylrswftrox33]

lol tht would b kwl, as long as they set it loose in like hollywood so it would devour all the crack addicted movie stars/whores... ooh they should train it to only devour druggies! tht would help the world out one blob at a time... (no offense to any druggies out there)
