The Blob (1958)

A meteor lands on earth containing an amoebous alien substance that consumes humans whole, growing larger and more aggressive with each meal. The only witnesses to this creature are a group of teenagers who struggle to convince their town of the danger. I adore these 1950s sci-fi horror films and this one is definitely a classic. Who cares if the ‘teenagers’, including Steve McQueen in one of his earliest roles, are in their late 20s and that the snail-paced villain, at least in its earliest stages, is hard to find scary? It’s got a bopping intro song and a scarily prescient final lesson. I only wish that there was even more scenes with the Blob.
