Preachers, teachers and group leaders: This classic routine from the bestselling comedy video Mitch & Allen Live! (1983) is a great kicker-offer for sermons or discussions on the nature of evil, or for Halloween alternative events! My comedy partner Allen and I had been watching The Blob, a classic monster movie from the 1950s, when it struck us that this was how sin (evil) entered the world. First, it consumed a couple of naïve teenagers – and then it spread like a hideous blob! It Came From Outer Darkness is available from my short film distributor Sermon Central.

That’s pretty Rad Mitch, so cool to see an early performance.
Thanks, Matt. “Early” indeed!
I literally had nightmares from watching “The Blob” as a kid. Also, “The Thing”!
I was a little older when I saw The Blob, but The Thing? Oh, yeah!
The original The Blob with Steve McQueen is an amazingly well-written movie. I actually bought a DVD copy to study it. Excellent choice.
I am pissed by halloween every year. Since nearly 15 years we are forced to celebrate this anglo-american thing in our country. Only for the profit of the candy-and sweets-industry. Thats not a german tradition. No-one knows the kontext of that thing around. Its only money-wasting.
Very creative… and I love the shirts!
Yep, we got those at a thrift store. They were over-the-top and way out-of-date by then — which was why we wore them. ;>)
Well Mitch, you’re about seventy years too late for me. I saw “The Blob” at the Camargo Theater in Madeira, Ohio when I was seven and couldn’t sleep for a couple nights after that. I laughed when I saw that it was playing at a neighborhood theater two days ago. I wish I had seen your production. Happy Halloween. Dirt
Thanks, Dirt. Great memories.
