<Li> Keith Almoney as Danny Martin </Li> <P> The film was originally titled The Molten Meteor until producers overheard screenwriter Kay Linaker refer to the film's monster as "the blob". Other sources give a different account, saying that the film went through a number of title changes (the monster was called "the mass" in the shooting script) before the makers settled on The Glob . After hearing that cartoonist Walt Kelly had used The Glob as a title for his Pogo children's book, they mistakenly believed that they could no longer use that title, so they changed it to The Blob . </P> <P> The Blob was directed by Irvin Yeaworth, who had directed more than 400 films for motivational, educational, and religious purposes . Though the budget was set at $120,000 it ended up costing only $110,000 . Filmed in and around Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, principal photography took place at Valley Forge Studios . Several scenes were filmed in the towns of Chester Springs, Downingtown, Phoenixville, and Royersford, including the basement of a local restaurant which is today named Downingtown Diner . For the diner scene, a photograph of the building was put on a gyroscopically operated table onto which cameras had been mounted . The table was shaken and the Blob rolled off . When the film negative was printed in reverse, it appeared to be oozing over the building . The Blob was filmed in color by De Luxe and widescreen . </P> <P> 28 - year - old Steve McQueen received $3,000 for his starring role . He turned down an offer for a smaller up - front fee in return for a 10% percent share of profits, thinking that the film would never make money; he needed his signing fee immediately to pay for food and rent . However, The Blob ended up a hit, grossing $4 million at the box office . </P>
