Ok, movie experts. Why is this old movie theater in the small town of Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, famous?

In 1958 the theater was attacked by a gooey substances from outer-space in "The Blob."

Actors and extras ran screaming from the theater.

The "B movie" starred actor Steve McQueen (paid $3,000.)

The town is about 30 miles from Philadelphia and has an annual "Blobfest" re-enacting the screaming mob.
