Now HALF MOON OUTFITTERS….
In March of 1986 this theatre was being operated as a Dollor Discount house by Stewart & Everett occording to the Charleston Post.
There should be an AKA Dutch Square Cinemas & Crescent Cinema 2 on this theatre.
FUNCTION SHOULD BE RETAIL
Theater should be changed to closed..
Not too sad that it closed. It was really GROSS on the inside (how many health codes do you think were violated by having caged birds and reptiles within a few feet of where you served food?) and the indie film niche is more than filled by the fantastic Terrace Theatre just up the street.
And here is a December 21, 2007 article about Half-Moon Outfitters taking over the building.
Here are some photos.
This theater had many owners over the years .Once owned for a short while by the former owner of the TERRACE THEATER.The last owners believed the theater was haunted and posted pics on there web site to prove the point.
Update: The store is going to be a Half Moon Outfitters (camping and outdoor supplies/clothing)
This theater is being converted to an upscale womens' clothing store.

I am very upset, this was the last indie theater in Charleston besides the Terrace. It had real food, alcohol, great reasonable prices and were run by a friendly family. I went to the Asiamania Film Fest there both years it was held, and am very thankful that Charleston even HAD an Asian Film Festival. The screens were huge (biggest in Charleston County besides IMAX, which is also closed now unfortunately) and the seats were very comfy. The first movie I saw here was Fantasia 2000 back in the day, and the last one was probably Spiderman or X-men 2. I am very very sad to see this theater go, they had even resorted to renting out to Seacult church on the weekends to make ends meet. This was a second-run theater for the most part, I believe it was built in the 1930s or 40s with the rest of South Windermere Center.
Theater closed August 30 2007…..
