ARE YOU EATING IT …OR IS IT EATING YOU?

A delicious, mysterious goo that oozes from the earth is marketed as the newest dessert sensation, but the tasty treat rots more than teeth when zombie-like snackers who only want to consume more of the strange substance begin infesting the world.

      Laugh if you must but The Stuff gave me nightmares for weeks and probably set yogurt back for a decade for me and the seven other people that saw it.

        I somehow saw this when I was really young, so I didn’t make the yogurt connection. But Marshmallow Fluff was never the same afterwards.

          It was one of those daytime movies they played on broadcast TV when I was a kid. Me and my brother loved it.

    I fucking love how the first thing these people do when they see white goo bubbling from the earth is to taste it.

    There’s a great scene of the protagonists eating like the old standard barbosol shaving cream they are passing off as the stuff to their possessed family. I remember thinking eating shaving cream would be way worse than getting possessed by the devil’s semen.

    I saw just enough of this as a kid for it to give me the screaming heebie-jeebies.

    This, Invaders from Mars, and the 1978 version of Invasion of the Bodysnatchers also freaked me the heck out.

    Close Encounters of the Third Kind was also terrifying to me. Again, I only saw bits and pieces.
