THE BLOB TRIVIA
  • Steve McQueen starred in The Blob, which was released in 1958.
  • It was one of his earliest major film roles and helped launch his career as a Hollywood star.
  • Even though he’s now remembered as the “King of Cool,” McQueen almost didn’t get the role. The producers initially thought he was too unknown, but after a screen test, his charm and rugged looks won them over.
  • McQueen was supposed to be terrified of the Blob on camera, but the “creature” was basically cold, slimy gelatin. During filming, he couldn’t help laughing every time it touched him, which made it tricky for the director to get a genuinely scared reaction.
  • The film’s opening sequence shows teenagers at a sock hop dance party, and the music playing is by the Five Blobs, a band actually created just for the movie. The twist? The lead singer was none other than Burt Bacharach—yes, the legendary composer—though he sang under the band’s name rather than being credited directly.
  • The “Blob” — that red, gelatinous goo used in the 1958 film — still exists! It’s kept preserved in a five-gallon bucket inside a sealed container at The Blob Museum in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania (the same town where the movie was filmed).

💰 Budget: The entire film was made for only about $110,000 (some sources say as low as $120,000 — pocket change even for 1958). Most of that went to basic production costs, because Steve McQueen, then an unknown actor, was only paid around $3,000 for his starring role.

🎟️ Box Office: Despite that tiny budget, The Blob became a massive hit, earning over $4 million in theaters — nearly 40 times its cost! That success helped catapult McQueen’s career and cemented The Blob as one of the most profitable B-movies of all time.
