In the summer of 1957 what would become a cult B movie classic was filmed in and around Chester County. A young actor named Steve McQueen had the lead, and the most famous scene was filmed at the Colonial Theater where "The Blob" attacked patrons of the movie house.
For the past 10 years fans have celebrated the film with a weekend of movie screenings, tin foil hat contests, a parade a fire extinguishers and a reenactment of the crazed running from the theater. And then the man who owns the mass of 50-year-old hazy, red silicone gets his moment in the spotlight, emerging to the screaming masses who have rolled out of the local bars to witness the spectacle.
