I used to watch this all the time when I was younger. At the moment, I'm actually living not too far (roughly an hour) from where this was filmed - Abbeville, Louisiana. The town looks almost exactly the same as in the movie, 24 years later.

Speaking of Son of Blob you'll notice some things from it are in the Blob remake, like the scene where the girl walks in on Chester covered in Blob, or someone getting eaten via sink invasion. Neither scene, of course, are in any way as vivid in the older movie, though.
