Gelatinous Blob From Beyond the Grave

Lock yer windows!  Lock yer doors!  Our teens are disappearing.  Our mothers afraid.  Our fathers are consuming thrice as many martinis as their fathers. THRICE!  There’s a threat out there!  Corn Productions and special sponsor—Smirkin’ Gherkins—bring you a tale of a threat!  A tale of fear!  A tale of terror!  A tale of…  The Somewhat Gelatinous Blob From Beyond the Grave (and also the grave’s in outer space).

Something is bumping off young, hope-filled, American teens—something that leaves behind bright green goo.  Official United States Scientist—Smittie—knows exactly what this something is: a Boogeranious Lifeform Originating from Bylopsia-X25. At the American University of Science College, where he became a scientist, they just called it… a BLOB.  But the President and his men believe that any threat of this magnitude can mean only one thing: Communists.  Communists that… goo green.  Irish Communists!  In response to this growing danger, the President sends Smittie on the most important mission of his life: to protect the president’s one and only daughter—Midge—from these Commumicks and bring her back to the Pentagon safely.  Can Midge and Smittie defeat the BLOB before it destroys the very spirit of America?

The Somewhat Gelatinous Blob From Beyond the Grave (and also the grave’s in outer space) is written by Julia Weiss, directed by Anneliese Toft, assistant directed by Richard Anderson, and features Katherine Schwartz, Kevin Anderson, Lindsay Bartlett, Steve Thomas, Matt Thompson Gripe, Dave Kaniuk, Michael Schmitt, Jim McDaniel, Lindsey Charles, Evan Hill, Laura Deger, and Daniel Polonka.
