The Blob

The audience's primary emotional responses are dominated by intense **Fear** and pervasive **Anxiety** as the amorphous, acid-like Blob relentlessly consumes its victims and threatens the entire town. The film's gruesome practical effects evoke strong feelings of **Disturbing** and **Disgust** due to the visceral nature of the Blob's attacks and its victims' fates. **Anticipation** is high as viewers constantly await the next terrifying encounter or revelation, while sudden attacks contribute to **Surprise**. A degree of **Anger** is also present, directed at the Blob itself and the corrupt, self-serving government forces.
