In the nick of time, Zackie deduced that he was the one who brought it to life, through whatever power the typewriter passed into him via an electric shock. Zackie willed the Blob away and returned Adam. However, it turned out the Blob was actually the one writing the story, and a friend, another blob, suggested rewriting the ending so the Blob wins.

Second, they decide to invite Mr. Mortman to dinner after Lucy attempts to capture him on a camcorder wherein he did not cast a reflection.  Finally, the parents provide the surprise ending to the story; they are monsters, too.  And the reason why the parents invited Mr. Mortman for dinner was because he was the "dinner" all along.  Note that unlike Mr. Mortman who needs to eat insects to provide stimulation for his transformation, the parents can transform at will.  They reveal to Lucy and Randy that they are not "fully" developed, but will eventually grow to be a monster just like them.  In the book, they only grow fangs.  But in the show, they grow fangs, and then they have reptilian features.
