The historic Colonial Theatre in Phoenixville, Pa. (in suburban Philadelphia–the theater where they shot some scenes for the movie “The Blob” ) will show episode 813- JACK FROST Friday, Jan. 21, at 9:45 p.m. There will be prizes before the show. Also on hand will be the guys from Late Night at the Horror Hotel, a local public access horror host show in Philadelphia.
More information here. More MST3K shows are planned at the Colonial in the coming months.
By the way, if you are having a public showing of an MST3K episode, or if you hear about one, let me know at msampo at a-o-l dot com so we can let people know.
Just a head’s up Sampo, the guys from Late Night at the Horror Hotel will be on hand, but I’m hosting as per normal(I’m mostly cool but not as cool as those guys)

Oh, and it’s January 21st, not the 29th. :p
Sorry, Chuck!! Item fixed now.
No worries Sampo!
Let me know if you’re coming, we need to get beers!
How are they able to view/show this episode without getting into trouble from the Feds?
It works in much the same way as licensing right for showing films, you pay to show them.
As with the first two, I plan on coming from Jersey to see this with friends. I think any “casual fans” will be delighted with the weirdness of Jack Frost vs. the last one they did (Warrior of the Lost World). Can’t wait.
Sampo!
I don’t know how to go about getting permission to screen an MST3K episode at my local theater in Alameda, California. You may have already associated my town with our local boy made good Robert Lippert. He actually owned the theater in question, which has been restored to its art deco glory
I wanted to host a series of Lippert MST3Ks, even link it to the coming release of Project Moonbase (the alameda museum actually has the space station from Project Moonbase!). Can you get me to the right people or point me in the right direction?
Help me Sampo, you’re my only hope!

Gah!!! C.T. touring in a place I moved away from, and now Jack Frost showing in a city that I recently finished up working in!!! Damn bad timing!
Crapola! I can’t go! I’ll be in Trenton for a WWE house show that night.
YES! This is so awesome! I used to live in Phoenixville, now I’m just south of there. So I will be sure to make it for this. The Colonial is really a great little theater. And Phoenixville is a lovely picturesque little town. Looks straight out of a Norman Rockwell painting.
I agree Ryan. On the night of their first MST showing in Phoenixville (Zombie Nightmare), the town was having some kind of national night out or something like that. Many people were out and everyone was super nice. I called it “the town that Time forgot.” So I do look forward to going there on MST nights.
go, Cherokee Jack!–as an east bay resident, count me in!!
