An Original Vintage Print Block (measures 1" x 1 1/4" x 2 3/4" [3 x 3 x 7 cm]) (Learn More) The Blob, the 1958 Irvin S. Yeaworth Jr. science fiction (sci-fi) horror comedy thriller ("The Indestructible creature! The Blob"; "Bloated with the blood of its victims!"; "The management of this theatre disclaims any responsibility for heart attacks or damage to nerves."; "Certified"; "In Color!"; "Indescribable... Indestructible! Nothing can stop it!"; "It's indescribable! It's indestructible! Nothing... can stop it!"; "From an idea by Irvine H. Millgate") starring Steve McQueen (very young in this role; billed here as "Steven McQueen"), Aneta Corsaut (billed as "Aneta Corseaut" on the first release posters), Earl Rowe, Olin Howlin, Stephen Chase, John Benson, and George Karas. Note that the music for the title song for this movie was written by Burt Bacharach! Note that even though Steve McQueen was top billed in this movie, he was not yet known to the general public, and his image was not used on the posters (which DO have great art of the blob monster engulfing the townspeople). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that print blocks like this were made for a local theater by their local newspaper, and then the ad shown on the print block was printed in the local paper to get people to come to that movie. The print block has a negative image with reversed writing, because the newspaper would show a mirror image of it (and you can see that exact image since someone did put ink on the block and made an impression, and of course you can put ink on the block and make your own!). The public learned of print blocks like these a number of years ago when a pair of women discovered a huge collection of them and brought them to the TV show "Antiques Roadshow", where they were appraised for millions of dollars. But you can purchase one or more of these for a fraction of that amount, because each starts at $1 with no reserve! Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
