Every Halloween week for the last several years, the Times has
aired scary classic shows. It has become a tradition.
This year, we've selected some of the scariest horror movies from the 1950s -- the golden era for Hollywood imagination.
Keep in mind that while these shows are family-friendly, we do not recommend that children under age 13 watch these alone -- or at all, for that matter.
Tonight's movie is called "The Blob" -- a 1958 horror film starring Steve McQueen (in his feature film debut). It was distributed as a double feature with "I Married a Monster from Outer Space."
The film is about a growing, corrosive, alien entity that crashes to Earth from outer space inside a meteorite. It envelops everything in its path in small towns in Pennsylvania -- growing larger, redder, and more aggressive, eventually becoming larger than a building.
Enjoy tonight's Halloween movie. But be sure to leave on an extra light.
