Interesting bit of trivia: the actress who played Helen Krump (the late Aneta Corsaut) made her film debut in
The Blob opposite a young Steve McQueen back in 1958.
Even more interesting is that Frances Bavier (Aunt Bee) portrayed the Blob.
I may go to hell for it, but this is one of the funniest posts ever. Excellent use of context.
As an aside, I went to college with a guy that if you put a wig on him, he was a dead ringer for Aunt Bea.
