Jack Harris is one of a kind. His films helped to inspire my career in film. I still vividly recall being scared out of my mind watching THE BLOB on my parents black and white television.
I jumped at the scene when the old man poked the meteor, which cracked open and unleashed THE BLOB onto his arm!
