Beware! The Blob (1972)

 'Beware! The Blob' is a kinda, sorta sequel to the 1958 monster classic 'The Blob'; kinda, sorta because a character in this movie watches the original movie on TV. But continuity is not much of a concern here; Larry Hagman, then best known as the male lead in 'I Dream of Genie', directs this lose, semi-improvised, doubtless drug infused, hippie style romp. The blob attacking a bowling alley at the end of the film proves a neat idea, but the best part of the film is all the cameo appearances, Dick Van Patten, Cindy Williams, Carol Lynley, Burgess Meredith and more just show up, often for a single scene. This movie is not very good, but it is fun to watch. **
