A big scene in the campy horror film "The Blob" was filmed at Phoenixville's Colonial Theatre in the '50s. Screaming moviegoers run from the building as an alien creature takes over their small town.
On Sunday, July 15, fans of "The Blob" can pretend they're also being chased by a sci-fi monster during The Blobfest 5K in Phoenixville.

On race day, remember to run for your lives! The Blob is indescribable, indestructible and nothing can stop it!
