Stay Away From My Blob, Rob Zombie!

News is that Rob Zombie wants to make a remake of the sci-fi/horror classic, The Blob (which has actually already been remade in 1988). Now, after initial convulsions, it is important to remember that before the awful Halloween re-dos, Mr. Zombie did write and direct a pair of good, if disturbing, flicks in House of 1000 Corpses and the Devil's Rejects.

Unfortunately, once one reads his statements on the project, all hope is thrown out the window:

"My intention is not to have a big red blobby thing -- that's the first thing I want to change," Zombie said. "That gigantic Jello-looking thing might have been scary to audiences in the 1950s, but people would laugh now."

Um...Mr. Zombie, that's the whole point of the movie. It's even in the title...THE BLOB!

Hold me, please.....
