"While "The Blob" may not have received widespread critical acclaim at the time of its release, it has since gained a cult following for its campy charm and iconic scenes.
"The film's low-budget special effects, including the use of red dye and silicone gel to create the Blob, added to its unique appeal.
"In terms of awards, "The Blob" did receive recognition at the Festival de Cine de Sitges in 1958, winning the Best Special Effects award.
"Despite not being a major awards contender, the film's impact on the science fiction and horror genres cannot be denied.

I'm confused. Are you writing about the 1958 original film with Steve McQueen as the poster and article indicates, or the 1988 remake, which the two images are from? Also Festival de Cine de Sitges was established in 1968 (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festival_de_Cine_de_Sitges), first award year was 1971, so it was not possible for the original to have won an award from that festival, and the award for the year the remake was released went to A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master - https://www.imdb.com/event/ev0000155/1988/1/?ref_=ev_eh - unfortunately I am not able to locate a list of films nominated, but I am curious as to where you got your information. Can you cite your sources on the award? Thanks
