VHS Vault: The Blob (1988)

A gelatinous nightmare unleashed on a small town, The Blob remake delivers gooey, gruesome terror with a modern ’80s twist. This isn’t just an oozing monster; it’s a relentless force of nature that swallows everything in its path, sparking panic and chaos.

Director Chuck Russell infuses the film with slick practical effects and a killer synth-rock soundtrack that screams late ’80s horror vibe. The VHS cover art alone, with its pulsating red mass and terrified faces, is a classic eye-catcher from the rental store shelf.

Vault Notes:
This tape was a must-grab for fans of body horror and creature features. The VHS release came wrapped in a lurid, blood-red slipcase, making it a standout in any horror collection.

💀 Horror fans, beware:
This Blob isn’t your childhood jelly — it’s viscous, violent, and downright unforgettable.

📼 Dive into the nightmare. Watch The Blob... if you dare.
