Beware of the Blob

In 1958 an independent film was made in Phoenixville and the surrounding area titled "The Blob."  It starred Steve McQueen.  The Colonial theater in town became a focal point in the movie.
What's a geek to do but celebrate the anniversary of this sci fi/horror movie?  That is what happens each year in Phoenixville.  There are vendors, classic cars and of course showings of the movie in the Colonial.  They even have a 'run out' in the evening to recreate the Blob attacking a theater full of people.

I went to the street fair to see what it's all about.  Unfortunately I didn't have time to catch a movie but I saw the vendors and classic cars.  It was a fun couple hours.  Here's the website.
