That’s right! In fact, the Colonial Theatre, the old historic movie house in Phoenixville was the location of one of The Blob’s most iconic attack scenes. 📽️💩

The Colonial Theatre , located at 227 Bridge Street in Phoenixville, was built in 1903, as “Colonial Opera House” and was a preeminent venue for movies, traveling shows and live entertainment throughout the 20th century.
