Formless Horror the Son of the Blob

The orginal Blob did well but for some reason it would be years for there to be a sequel.  Unfortunately it was extremely bad.  I mean really, really bad.  I mean it would have to have been directed by an actor who for some reason was given a director's gig... oh it was.  Nevermind.

Oddly though, as bad as it is, the kid in me still remembers it scaring the pants off of him.  There are a couple of small scenes of pure nightmare fuel if you are young enough.  Let's see, first off they have the blob eat a kitten.  A kitty!  And the kitty being no actor really sells that it is being eaten by a blob.  Then there's the scene at the barber shop where barber pushes a head into a sink full of blob.

shudder. 
That gave me nightmares for years.

So thank you Larry Hagman.  You made a bad film and scared a small boy.  Happy?
