The Award-winning Festival returns
LIVE and IN PERSON to the iconic, historic Colonial Theatre in Phoenixville,
PA, July 8-10, 2022! Celebrate Sci-Fi/Horror at 2022 Blobfest: The Uninvited.

 

Now in its 23rd consecutive year, the festival commemorates
the Colonial’s place in cinematic history as a filming location for the 1958
classic sci-fi film, The Blob, and
all things retro sci-fi horror.

2022 Blobfest features three days of interactive fun
including an original live stage show, live music, Sci-Fi Double features with The Blob, Street Fair, and more!

Friday
July 8th at 7:00 PM

Re-enact the famous Run Out Scene in the movie The Blob,
which was filmed inside the Colonial Theatre’s historic auditorium and on
Phoenixville’s Bridge Street! Before the Run Out, you’ll experience a live
Stage Show hosted by Aurora Gorealis of Baltimore’s Shocktail Hour featuring
live music by Beach Creeper. Enter your sci-fi/horror short film into the 2022
Shorty’s Short Film Contest, which will be judged during the stage show. Or, vie
for the coveted Mx. Blobfest Universe title. (Ms. Blobfest 2021 won’t give up
her cosmic crown without a fight so . . . best of luck?) After you’ve screamed
your lungs out and escaped the Blob, dance the night away from 9-midnight at
the Blob Ball. Hosted by Phoenixville’s Lulu Boutique & Gifterie, the Blob
Ball is a costumed, retro dance party featuring Dibbs and the Detonators. Get
