I don't remember which of these I saw first...
The Blob definitely scared the hell out of me. I was over at my dad's girlfriend's house. Her brother and dad were watching The Blob, and her mom and my dad were talking in the kitchen. There's a scene where the teenagers are parking, and the girl... I don't know, falls asleep? Passes out? Something to that effect. The guy decided to take advantage of the situation, and unbuttons her shirt. Then, he reaches in to cop a feel, and her face like...deflates. And the guy proceeds to get eaten.
I had nightmares about that. *shudder* I tried to go hang out in the non-threatening kitchen, but for whatever reason, Dad didn't want me listening to the conversation. I curled up into a ball on a chair in the room between the living room and the kitchen and tried to think happy thoughts.
I don't even know what the other movie was... but it was on HBO and the killer broke through the girl's door with an axe. I assume he used the axe on her as well....I had my head buried in a pillow at that point. The next scene was someone she knew getting in his car and heading over to see her...and the song "Little Bitty Pretty One" was playing on the radio. To this day, that song gives me the creeps.
