Anyone ever been to Blobfest?

What was it like?

This one has survived and in addition to regular movies it has a Blobfest every year. It's a gem.

Me too! Definitely a starting point for a related list of linked films / cinemas to check off over my life...

Little Theatre in Bath: Fantastic Mr Fox.
Cameo in Edinburgh: The Illusionist.
...And perhaps, presumably, a visit to Blobfest? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonia...

There must be some more...

YMMV, but for me as long as we're a) starting early enough and b) not in the middle of a full on heatwave with high humidity morning July runs are pretty decent. Phoenixville has a half marathon run as part of Blobfest too but that might be a bit much, even for a sicko.

A 10k in July sounds brutal, ngl, but Blobfest sounds fun. I should start looking for races to sign up for to help me be consistent with running.
January 5, 2026 at 5:16 PM
Races I’m hoping to run this year:
-Phillies Charities 5k (March)
-BSR26 (Lottery dependent, May)
-Eagles Autism Challenge (also May)
-Media 5 miler (June)
-Blobfest 10k in Phoenixville (July)
-Delco 10 miler (September)

- Beach Creeper had a big year, releasing a Ouija-themed record, winning a lucrative battle of the bands, filming a scene in a horror movie, and playing shows with the legendary A Flock of Seagulls, Tim Cappello of Lost Boys fame, psycho-billy originators The Meteors, and another run at Blobfest.

The Blob (1958)
The blob oozes through The projectionist windows. Now, every July in Blobfest (Phoenixville, PA) you can watch The Blob in the theater in the film.

Transparent blobs are hard to draw. These guys are so much cooler than I can render them; please look up some macro photos! #InsertAnInvert2024 in 2025

One of the best parts of living where I live is being able to have the option to attend BlobFest every summer in Phoenixville. They have a Run Out of the Colonial Theater every year and all the local businesses in town have Blob-themed activities. It is a ton of fun.

I’ve done the Blobfest runout; can confirm. Put this on your bucket list!

Blobfest every year in Phoenixville PA. Our son is a huge Blob fan and he and his fiance got married during Blobfest this summer on stage at The Colonial Theater. It was pretty cool.

Yes, Blobfest!

Side Note: Some day I hope to go to Phoenixville, PA
where they hold an annual celebration known as Blobfest.
The highlight event is when they show the Blob
at the same theater seen in the movie.
Where at the end, the audience recreates the scene
where everyone runs out screaming.

Good nerdy fun!

The original was filmed in my hometown, Phoenixville,PA. The movie theater is still open and holds a Blobfest every year that culminates in everyone running from the theater out onto Bridge Street.

Yeah, both are good. But only one, my fave, sponsors an annual BlobFest, with headquarters at the Colonial Theatre, featured in the original film. Complete with a panicked run by theatregoers at a showing of the original. thecolonialtheatre.com/blobfest/

Me to myself this morning, realizing it's mid-month and I hadn't done anything for #InsertAnInvert2024 in 2025 yet: "You're not allowed to do any other hobbies until you draw."

Not central PA but The Blob was filmed in/around Phoenixville, a Philly suburb. There is a Blobfest every year where they re-enact the scene that they run out of the theater, which is the Colonial Theatre.

Blobfest!

It’s so popular they have several runs from the theater.

When I lived in the Philly suburbs, I went to the Colonial movie theater regularly and to the annual Blobfest, where they reenact the running out of the crowd from the theater. It's a classic!
