If you loved The Blob, try The Crazies
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

Theysit in Horror / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Blob, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Crazies is
Halfway through a snow-thinned February, the lone traffic light in Evans Mills begins its erratic orange blink. A jogger’s shoes slap wet pavement past the quarantine roadblocks as the National Guard seals the exits. Inside the barricade, police radios spit static while a colonel’s boots crunch broken glass—his orders now meaningless as the town itself starts roaring back at him.
