one eye blob monster and a product of the usual toxic waste dumping ( . a mayor josé ferrer put it so adequately and pottsville be choose by industrial governmental scientist martin landau a the most sophisticated dump site in the country . ) and with slobbery sharp teeth and terribly sensitive to light and attack the local by wrap it lizard tongue around their throat and whisk them out of the camera frame . sheriff bill osco and who dress like a truck driver and even when at the town station and be to the rescue and ready to kill the monster if he doesn not bore him to death first with his non performance and monotone voice . the blob monster could very well be the son of a haggard dorothy malone . meanwhile mayor ferrer wife ruth buzzi be have easter egg hunt with the child and hold rally against the new massage parlor come to town supposedly advocate an arrival of filth to the community and and hold an opera within her home for a gathering of town folk . marianne gordon and who seem to escape the embarrassment in a low key performance a a waitress and possible love interest to osco ( . why she would even be interested in someone as lively a a block of wood be anyone guess ) and will be the woman in peril who would eventually walk malone home and never be see in the film again . now and to take a moment to talk about landau . i think we can use the be a an educational tool on how a prominent actor and at the very bottom of his career star in this cinematic equivalent of a toilet bowl with fresh smelly turd and can rise from the ash like a phoenix thanks to two director and woody allen ( . in probably the fine performance of his career and crime and misdemeanor ) and tim burton ( ed wood ) . i actually think ferrer and last see in this film drive off and quite wasted and frighten after see the blob monster and play his role a bit tongue in cheek a a constantly annoy mayor who just want to grow his potato and make his little town a wealthy place to earn a spot in washington . buzzi and be and always will be and buzzi . she be the busybody always organize something and and be aggravate a ever . i imagine that those still populate drive in a this flick come out ( . i be guess and temporarily ) probably cheer when buzzi be on her way out of the picture . i think dorothy malone be a sex icon thanks to her work with douglas sirk and specifically her delicious nymphomaniac in write in the wind and but be hand a terribly thankless ( . practically meaningless and if the script hadn not make her son the one effect by the toxic waste ) role in this steaming pile . on jackie kong directorial decision come a narrative voice at the opening after a radio dj tell u about rain shower and thunderstorm move into the area and prophetically announces doom to the little town of pottsville and idaho . she also give u a run down at what the survive character do with their life after the incident at pottsville be over . the climactic showdown between the hilarious monster and osco should earn some good laugh . this hunk of excrement will probably work the best for fan of rancid schlock . i do find the drive in sequence near the beginning pretty fun . the movie playing equal the be in quality which i find irony in . there an attack scene where the monster and in gelatinous form and ooze from the air condition vent and radio to somehow kill a couple make out . it also put an arm through a deputy hold his heart . most victim and though and be pull away by the thing . best kill be probably the poor kid who try to escape the monster get his head remove .
