The Blob (1988)Presented by The Colonial Theatre at The Colonial Theatre July 5, 2013 “This remake of the 1958 camp classic preserves the tongue-in-cheek flavor of the original, yet uses superb special effects to bring a little more flare to the man-eating blob. As opposed to the slow, oozing menace of the first film, the blob in this film is one mean protoplasm capable of great strength, speed, and jolts of electricity.
Kevin Dillon plays a young man who tries saving himself and his family from the slippery creature that he comes to learn is all part of... | The Colonial Theatre | 07/05/13 | Phoenixville |
Valley GirlPresented by The Colonial Theatre at The Colonial Theatre July 19, 2013 Valley Girl is many things. It’s both an electrifying love story and on of the best 80s time capsules. Nicolas Cage and Deborah Foreman have so much hot chemistry, I think it blew up my Beta player. Coolidge brilliantly explores social pressure and how all-consuming first loves can be. Valley Girl has one of the greatest soundtracks of all time and helps to define the decade. Whether you watch it for the music, the great performances, or for the “that’s... | The Colonial Theatre | 07/19/13 | Phoenixville |
Carnival of SoulsPresented by The Colonial Theatre at The Colonial Theatre August 16, 2013 50th Anniversary screening on 35mm! Here we have a genuine low-budget cult oddity, a classic of the “other-worldly” and one which has become increasingly well-respected over the years.
The plot is a simple one: a church organist narrowly escapes drowning in an auto accident, only to find herself in a strange limbo, pursued by an odd phantom-like character and plagued by a series of weird dreams (or are they?) in which her soul hovers between reality and the supernatural.... | The Colonial Theatre | 08/16/13 | Phoenixville |
Fright NightPresented by The Colonial Theatre at The Colonial Theatre August 2, 2013 “This is a clever 1980s vampire story about a group of teenagers who slowly come to believe that one of their neighbors is a vampire. Unwittingly, the host of the late night television horror program Fright Night (Roddy McDowall) offers his help as a vampire hunter in hopes of convincing them it’s all in their heads.
Chris Sarandon does well trying to conceal his identity as the bloodsucker, yet McDowall finally comes to believe the teens, leading to the suspenseful... | The Colonial Theatre | 08/02/13 | Phoenixville |
Helen of TroyPresented by The Colonial Theatre and The Colonial Theatre at The Colonial Theatre June 30, 2013 Rossana Podesta may not quite possess the face that would launch a thousand ships, but she is otherwise convincing in the title role of Helen of Troy. Filmed in Italy, this super-epic costars Jacques Sernas as Paris of Troy, who sails to Sparta to secure a peace treaty between the two powerful Greek city-states. When he falls in love with Helen, Queen of Sparta, Paris loses all sense of diplomacy.
Helen is willingly “abducted” by Paris and spirited off to Troy, thereby... | The Colonial Theatre | 06/30/13 | Phoenixville |

Segal Puppet & Theatre Co. presents RopenosePresented by The Colonial Theatre at The Colonial Theatre August 20, 2013 Originally based on an East European folktale about an unloved ogre, this 40 minute interactive puppet show has gone through another generation of change thanks to the “love” given to its title character by audiences ages 2-5. Against the backdrop of getting ready for a celebration party, Rodney, Monroe, Sweeper, and other puppet friends find Ropenose – a character originally thought to be made up by a storytelling uncle – to be a real character that is in need of... | The Colonial Theatre | 08/20/13 | Phoenixville |
