A portion of the film, where moviegoers run out of a theater (pictured above), was filmed at The Colonial Theatre in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania.

The Blob", "The Creature from the Black Lagoon" (3D), and "Fluido Mortale" (The Blob ‘58 en Español). Follow the Facebook page and website for showtimes!
