“I love it due to the mercifully unmusical appearance of Anthony Newley – yes, *that* Anthony Newley. Appearing as L. Cpl. u0026#39;Spideru0026#39; Webb, he disappears midway through the film without singing a note.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI too saw this as a youngster and had the crap scared out of me by the blob monster and the radiation induced deaths. As a former technician who used to work with isotopes and x-ray machines (non-destructive testing), it took a few years to get over my fear of working with radioactive substances.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOne of the best of the early sci-fi pics – right up there with the Quartermass trilogy. Definitely worth the time and a bowl of popcorn!”
