DR. BLOB'S ORGANISM
He's brewing giant protozoans again -they must be destroyed!
Something very strange is going on in Dr. Blob's mystery kitchen.
Pulsing emanations spill from the windows at night illuminating the
overhanging willows with eerie green light. Unsettling squishy noises,
diabolical laughter and the crackling sound of raw electricity pierce the
stillness of the after hours frightening passersby and disturbing nearby
residents from their sleep.
Rumors of unlabeled crates and canisters being delivered by dark-suited men
driving unlicensed black vans even now circulate among local barflies and
conspiracy seekers.
