* There are a couple of verbal acknowledgments of what the Blob does to its victims; but our first visual indicator comes when Doc Hallen checks on the old man, whose entire forearm is coated in Blob rather like an opera glove. But then the Blob begins to distort, and you realize that '''his arm is no longer there'''.

The sink scene is from the 1988 remake, not the 1958 original
Deleted line(s) 4 (click to see context) :
* The sink scene; it doesn't matter where you are or where it is, once you are in the Blob's grasp you cannot escape. One poor diner hand finds this out the hard way as the Blob attacks him from within the drain, ''sucking his entire body through the pipes'' as bloods splatters from his limbs. Not helping is the bit of the pipes ''expanding'' as he is forcefully sucked through, blood oozing from the cracks until he is no more.

* If you get caught by the Blob, your death is going to be excruciatingly painful, as it slowly dissolves you alive.
* The theater scene, where the Blob devours the helpless projectionist and then starts oozing out of the filming slots to begin washing down over the theater seats is notorious.
