I showed this theater to my friend and he was shocked that for sitting there all these years, the outside didnt look too bad.. I wonder what it looked like in 83, probably not too bad, seems that it really started to get attacked within the last 10 yrs. Broken windows ect. The box office window was broken but was boarded up yet, till after 2006.
jweckert, wow, thanks. I kinda figured at looking at those photos that’s where the bathrooms were..Its kinda eerie that the toilet paper is actually from 1980, and it looks so white still. I really would love to know where i can get some old newspaper clips to see what kinda films showed there in it’s last year .. so far. i know only of the Exterminator and now THE FOG.. I wonder if the first Halloween ever showed there. that would have been so cool to see on the big screen. Did it smell in there or what was it like seeing the screen, I noticed the lighting was hard to see in your shots.. But it was probably such a big room to light.. It was cool to see the managers office all 70’s looking.
wow, the fog played there !!! i really would wanna know what other B horror movies showed there, specially in 79 and 1980, can anyone remember what other movies showed here.. I wonder if the original Halloween showed here? I would love to see some old newspaper clippings of what kinda movies showed here in 1980, can anyone help?
thanks alot…
hey, jwheckert? It would be cool if we got a hold of some other ads from 1980 to see what other movies played at the cinemart in its last months… specially summer of 1980.. Love your ads you got already. cool rare stuff. http://www.flickr.com/photos/57086731@N05/sets/72157626704767935/with/5768073477/
its funny how gory and violent movies started to become by 1980…Alot of these movies that were sown in 1980 could never be shown these day’s… specially “The Exterminator”
wow, cool, iam so interested in this theater. Hey, couple questions, was the bathrooms upstairs or downstairs.. and i noticed that in the men’s bathroom toilet, there is still hanging toilet paper , is that paper from 1980??? cause it looks really newer? Also, graffiti is on the side wall now is gone, and the box office glass was there in 06 is now boarded up. Wish they would have left the Exterminator poster in the frame. ha ha.. Do you know of any other movies that were showing there in 1980??? Exterminator was released around sept 19th 1980, so this is when the theater was closed. Can’t believe its still standing after all these years..
Any more memories or info on this theater would be appreciated. For example, i wonder what year they changed everything and turned it into a business office? Did the theater sit for a few years once it closed??
I would like to find old newspaper articles from delaware circa, 1980, and see the listings for movies being shown at the cinemart that year. Any ,librarys in del might have them??
cinebob, what was it like inside in 1980? what was it like seeing THE FOG on the big screen??
