How to watch the Blob movies in order

A gelatinous alien horror devours everything in its path in The Blob, a sci-fi creature franchise with a classic original and a gory remake. Here's how to watch them in order.

The Blob oozed into theaters in 1958 as a drive-in classic starring a young Steve McQueen, pitting teenagers against a creeping, flesh-eating alien mass. A campy 1972 sequel and a well-regarded, effects-heavy 1988 remake expanded the sticky saga.

πŸ• Release Order

Release order moves from the 1958 classic through the sequel to the modern remake.

  1. The Blob (1958)
  2. Beware! The Blob (1972)
  3. The Blob (1988)

The 1988 film is a remake rather than a continuation, so story chronology is a bit of a mix.

πŸ“– Story Chronology

Story chronology broadly follows release order β€” the 1958 film and its 1972 sequel share continuity, while the 1988 version reimagines the story from scratch.

  1. The Blob (1958)
  2. Beware! The Blob (1972)
  3. The Blob (1988) β€” remake

Which Order Should You Choose?

Watch the 1958 original first for its charming sci-fi fun and Steve McQueen's early role. The 1988 remake is the gory standout and can be enjoyed on its own, while Beware! The Blob is a campy curiosity. Release order gives you the full evolution of the creature.
