'Star-jelly' is a thing, believe it or not.
The Big Picture The 1950s was, arguably, the Golden Age of cinematic mutated monsters, thanks to a perfect storm of post-World War II anxieties surrounding the deadly power of nuclear weapons, mistrust in the intentions of science, and the advent of the Cold War and its offspring, the Space Race.
The headline of the Philadelphia Inquirer dated September 27th, 1950 read more like something that would be found on a sensationalist tabloid like The National Enquirer: "Flying Saucer Just Dissolves." The story, though, was certainly worthy of the trumpeting title. Two veteran Philadelphia police officers, Joe Keenan and John Collins, saw an object falling from the sky while on patrol.
'The Blob' Has Prequels, Sequels, and a Name While this is the bizarre event that may have inspired the film, like any good story, this one has multiple chapters. The earliest reports of “earth-stars,” or “star-slime”, date back to 1400. Residents in Loweville, New York back in 1846 reported seeing an object fall from the sky. That object, four feet in diameter, was described as a "heap of foul-smelling luminous jelly," which disappeared within minutes.
