A cult favorite that oozes with charm (and slime), this 1950s sci-fi thriller stars a young Steve McQueen in his first leading role. When a mysterious alien goo begins devouring everything in its path, it’s up to a group of teens to warn the town—before it’s too late. With its drive-in movie vibes, practical effects, and unforgettable title theme, this low-budget wonder became a genre-defining hit that’s as fun as it is freaky.
