* EnforcedMethodActing: The iconic shot of Meg's first view of Paul being eaten by the Blob was made with actor Donovan Leitch Jr. having a clear wet surface pulled over his face. However, Chuck Russell did not tell Creator/ShawneeSmith it was really him underneath the Blob for the first part of the scene. She believed it was going to be the puppet (which they did use in the later shots where he's dissolving). This was so he could get more of a shock out of her. That is the take that is now seen in the movie when Meg screams out Paul's name upon discovering him.
