Production

Larry Hagman came up with the idea for a Blob sequel while relaxing in his bathtub, and immediately called his next-door neighbor, producer Jack H. Harris, persuading him to fund the film, and assuring him that "we are all going to get rich from it". Most of the cast and cameo appearances consisted of Hagman's friends and neighbors.

Principal photography started in the spring of 1971. The film was shot at various locations in California, including Diamond Bar, Pomona, and Venice. According to Hagman, the film was shot in 16 days with a budget of about $110,000. Reportedly, significant portions of the original screenplay were discarded, and numerous scenes were improvised during filming.
