A parison length control method for a blow molding machine in which a parison is extruded vertically, the end of the parison is closed, and a blowing gas is blown into the closed parison. The method includes the step of deriving a relationship between parison length and extruder screw rotation speed during a test molding process. Current parison length is then detected during normal molding operation, and the difference between the current parison length and a target parison length is derived. The extruder screw rotation speed is then controlled by calculating a correction amount for the extruder screw rotation speed based on the parison length difference in combination with the relationship between parison length and extruder screw rotation speed. The extruder screw rotation speed is then adjusted by the correction amount so as to attain the target parison length.
