Did you know Steve McQueen got his first starring film role in an independent film? Did you know that film was set right here in the greater Philadelphia area? The same film also boasts a theme song written by the then-unknown team of Burt Bacharach and Hal David.
Whether or not you knew any of the above, you can be part of the annual celebration of the classic independent horror film, The Blob, running today through tomorrow.
Highlights of the festivities include a re-enactment of the scene where moviegoers ran out of Phoenixville's Colonial Theater (tonight), and showings of the movie itself (tomorrow) -- all in the same movie house setting from the original film. But there's much more, from live music and screenings of additional films to a costume contest.
