My best friend lived in Phoenixville for a few years and when I went to visit, I would cardio-walk every morning past that theater. He went with me, when we returned from a cruise to Bermuda, for one day at the 2003 DS Fest in Brooklyn. The photos are buried somewhere here in the archives.
I've always loved The Blob. It's not in the same sphere as The War of the Worlds, This Island Earth or Fantastic Planet (not even in the league of Godzilla, King of the Monsters) from that wonderful 1950's world of sci-fi, but it remain an incredibly working film. Where else are you going to see Steve McQueen and Andy Taylor's girlfriend, Helen Krump, battle a human-eating glob of jello?
