Tossup

Efforts to investigate this thing are delayed by three teenagers who insist on having a drag race that the protagonist “wins” driving in reverse. In a shot possibly referenced by John Carpenter, a doctor makes a call as this thing rustles under a blanket in the background. This thing, which (15[1])interrupts a midnight showing of Daughter of Horror, is finally airdropped into a (*) frozen wasteland (10[1])where it will remain “as long as the arctic stays cold.” This thing “creeps and leaps and glides and slides” according to a campy theme song that tells us to “beware it.” Steve McQueen’s first starring role was in a movie in which this thing grows larger and redder by consuming townsfolk (10[1])after crawling out of a meteorite. For 10 points, a 1958 B movie stars what amorphous alien? ■END■
