Are there still tours of BLOB landmarks (besides the theater), like the Doctor's house, the high school entrance, the market and the diner? Not even sure what's still standing, or is the least bit recognizable? I think the market was completely remodeled as a different kind of business.

Kind of... You can do a self-guided tour using a handout that lists all of the filming locations and directions... And yea, there has been major remodeling on a number of them. The Downingtown Diner is still there but is different than the one from the movie. They DO have a few Blob-inspired items on the menu, though - I think that's pretty cool!

My daughter and one of my sons and I will be there on Saturday. We've been making this a tradition for the last 15 or so years.

highs in the upper 80s...Hot on blacktop but its been worse.
Besides the soap I'll have art prints, vintage toys, models,  games, books and records, Halloween stuff and even some new Retro-A-Go-Go product.
looking forward to meeting you.

One year the guy next to me canned some strawberry jam  with nice Blob-inspired labelling on the jars. It was really tasty...but began to eat me from the inside out!  :D

That would be a good one! It would probably ooze real nice.  ;D

Hey Chris, it was great meeting you and your wife. You are both so nice. Thank you so much for the blob soap! I'm also looking forward to putting the Frankenstein model together.  :) Had another wonderful time at Blobfest. Mr. Lobo is so funny and he did a great job with spook show. We had lots of laughs! I always wish Blobfest could go on longer.

Hi Paul = great meeting you and your kids as well! We got a big kick out of your shirt!

It is a fun day - I wish I could have stayed to see all of the "spook Show" but only saw the beginning skits before I had to get back to the booth. We stayed for the entire double feature that night as well - and man, were we beat by the time we got home. I lover the crowds at the show - and how so many people break into a song or dance (or a cheek pop!) when they hear the Blob theme playing in our booth.

And apparently Svengoolie's shout out about the Blob Soap on his show helped - we sold out early and had a number of people comment on seeing it!

The highlight of the week-end for me was seeing how well Keith Almony (who played little Danny in the movie) is doing. He has Parkinson's, and when we saw him a few years ago he was in very bad shape. This year he was a thousand times better. He said the VA found a different medication that he's responded to very well. He also has deep faith and thanks God daily for the blessing of his improved health.

Yes, he did look much better.  We met him a couple years back as well and he mentioned he was having health problems.  I didn't know it was Parkinson's  though.  He is such a sweet guy and we enjoy talking with him. His memories of working on the film are good and he mentioned how nice every one treated him during the production.  I'm glad to see he's doing so much better too.

You should check out Adam the Woo's youtube channel , "The dailyWoo" I think it's called. He does a vlog on all the remaining Blob sets etc.
