PHOENIXVILLE — The legend of Steve McQueen and “The Blob” was celebrated this weekend with Phoenixville’s 13th annual BlobFest.

Fifty two years after the film was released, its popularity only continues to grow and grow, much like The Blob itself. All weekend the iconic 1958 classic science-fiction movie was remembered with many different events around town.

Festivities began Friday evening at The Colonial with the stage show and Run Out, which is a re-enactment of a memorable scene in the movie, when The Blob takes over the theater and people run for their lives out of the theater, screaming into the streets.
