The film stars Steven McQueen and Aneta Corsaut and co-stars Earl Rowe and Olin Howland. The Blob was distributed by Paramount Pictures as a double feature with I Married a Monster from Outer Space. It was released on July 25, 1958, and is now considered one of the best-known horror films of all time.

It also is available for home video on DVD, but only on the VHS version for $16.99 (the DVD version is not available on the DVD version for the same reason). It is also available on VHS for the second time on DVD as a download for $20 (the original version costs $20). The DVD version also comes with a bonus clip of the creature morphing into a superimposed superimposed human face. The original version does not include the clip of Steve Andrews and his girlfriend, Jane Martin, kissing at a lovers’ lane when they see a Meteorite crash beyond the next hill; Steve decides to look for it. The old man pokes the meteorite with a stick, it breaks open, and a small jelly-like globule inside attaches itself to his hand. Steve and Jane take him to the impact site and gather information. The man is nearly struck by Steve’s car; he is then taken to a doctor, who amputates his arm to save his life. The doctor is consumed by the creature, growing redder and larger with each victim consumed. In the meantime, the creature consumes a mechanic at a repair shop. Steve recruits Tony and some of his friends to warn people about the creature. The responding townspeople and police still refuse to believe them.
