Friday, July 12

Friday Night Stage Show and Run-Out

Enjoy an original, live stage show featuring our ghoul, Aurora Gorealis of Shocktail Hour; live music performed by Beach Creeper; the Shorty's Short Film and a re-enactment of the famous 'run out' scene starring YOU! Doors for the theatre will be open to ticket holders at 6:00 PM. House doors will open to the 1903 Theatre at 6:30 PM.

Sponsored by the Phoenixville Film Festival Shorty’s Short Film Contest

Each year, inspired by the same muse that sang to Director Irvin “Shorty” Yeaworth when he conceived of The Blob, filmmakers of all ages compose entries for our Annual Shorty’s Short Film Contest. Winning films will be screened for the public all day Saturday, July 13 during Blobfest 2024. Prizes will be awarded to the winners on Friday night.

Presented by LuLu Boutique & Gifterie Blob Ball

This after-party is hosted annually by our friends at LuLu Boutique & Gifterie inside the Colonial Theatre after the Run-Out has ended. Features sock hop hits, swing dancing, and frozen drinks!
