The Raft was the most interesting segment


Something about The Raft segment was so simple and yet so effective. And honestly, its not that far fetched of an idea when you really think about it. New species and life forms are discovered in bodies of water all the time. So the idea of a blob-like creature floating in some secluded lake isn't that unbelievable to me.

But seriously, that would be a really messed up situation to be in. Honestly, I would be terrified. And that ending, where the blob jumps out the lake and consumes the last remaining survivor...that was messed up and awesome all at the same time. That guy should've moved further away from the water.

I sometimes wonder if this segment was based on R.J. Jensen's "The Lake"?

Looked it up. May read it. It was published a year after "The Raft".

Thanks. It is a good book anyway

Mucho Ecological. Mucho ecological

Definitely the best segment in this movie, probably the best Creepshow segment overall... come to think of it arguably the all time great horror anthology segment.

Such a fun story

My favorite segment for sure. The molestation bit killed the buildup imo.
Would’ve have been better if they just decided to have sex, to keep warm, relieve some tension, whatever.

I agree. While that guy was the somewhat nerdy yet cool guy in the beginning, when that happened it turned him into a straight creep. But that's why the Blob ended up getting him. It was even funnier after he yelled out triumphantly "I beat you! I beat YOUUUUU!" The Blob then decided "I'll eat YOUUUUU"! And it did and then triumphantly burped as the car stereo continued to blare on with its cool rock tunes!! 😂😂
