==Ratings==<br />
===[http://www.mpaa.org/film-ratings/ MPAA Ratings]===<br />
<!--E.G., "Rated: R (Violence, Nudity, Language....)" --><br />
* Rated: original is PG (mostly off-screen 1950s Violence and horror)<br />
<br />
The original drive-in classic provided mostly relatively family-friendly 1950s horror with mostly off-screen violence, but the sequel and especially the remake add more graphic violence, profanity, and adult content.<br />
<br />
===Tentacle Ratings===<br />
A rough [[Tentacle Ratings|measure]] of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:<br />
* SS___ (Two Tentacles: Barely Lovecraftian; could be a very loose adaptation)<br />
<br />
The Blob can be easily compared to such classic Lovecraftian monsters as [[Shoggoth]]s or the [[Colour Out of Space]].<br />
<br />
''Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.''<br />

===Keeper Notes===<br />
<!-- Optional. Notes to Keepers on using this for film for scenario ideas. Heresies and Controversies: this is also a good place to include non-canon and controversial aspects of the film's mythos. Suggested Alternative Theories include: Derleth's elemental scheme; pseudo-science interpretation; "fanon" interpretations; unofficial humorous or eccentric versions; identification with "Real Life" mythological, religious, folklore, natural, and historical phenomena; rumor and speculation contribute some flexibility and ambiguity to the mythos. * Alternative_theory.
