Episode 109: It Creeps and Leaps - The Blob (1958 & 1988)

A bi-weekly look at the monster movies, TV shows, cult films, and horror stuff that keeps YOU up at night!  In the days before syndicated stations and 24 hour programming, television stations often showed old monster movies hosted by local on-air talent.  It is in this spirit that "Test Pattern" is made – a little bit spooky, a little bit silly, but always informative!  Jacob and Tab have a new topic each week, with a focus on the macabre offerings shown on television starting in the mid 1950s, favorite creature features, and B-movies (with occasional forays into the outer realms of horror).
