Do you know what was playing at the Colonial Theatre during the filming of ‘The Blob’? The answer is ‘Noah’s Ark’ and ‘The Buster Keaton Story.’ This photo, from Wes Shank’s book, “From Silicone to the Silver Screen Memoirs of The Blob (1958)” shows the marquee during filming!

Ever wondered what the origional 1958 Blob was made out of? It was a mixture of silicone and red vegetable dye! Also, keep an eye on the blob’s coloration: With every new victim, it gets redder.
