Phoenixville's Blobfest at Colonial Theater

Horror fans ran for their lives from the Colonial Theater for Blobfest. The reenactment of the iconic scene from the 1958 film draws crowds to Phoenixville every year. Siafa Lewis has more on the festival.

Hurt my ear they way she said "Ran for their lives" in that high pitch tone at the start of the video.

I grew up on mill street right behind there.

If I were them, I'd stick to the 1958 movie than the 1988 movie.

yes very “cool” and all but i don’t think anybody enjoys your cbs helicopter hovering over downtown phoenixville at 8:30 at night for 45 minutes straight. keep in mind that over 16k people live in phoenixville and not everyone wants to go to blobfest, people want to relax and not have a helicopter hovering over there house during the night hours. 6abc news on top

(tbh tho nobody goes to blobfest other then geeky sci fi people)

If there was more than the 5.2% diversity in Phoenixville they couldn't have an event like this. It would be shut down due to violence and tribal like behavior within a year or two of the first section 8 rental.
