Frederick,I saved hundreds of old ads from Augusta Theatres and one day at the age of 15 i decided to tape them all in a tree fort and they are gone.I have been able to collect quite few finding old newspapers in old homes,attics and such.I loved everyone,the older the better.I have a pressbook on “HOUSE OF DARK SHADOWS” why it is not on DVD i will never know.I have a VHS of it.Thanks so much,hope others will see what you have.I will be revisiting it.
Never knew who did the voice over on the trailer.I saw it enough plugging it at the other ABC THEATRE i worked in Town.You are right AdamBomb 1701 his voice makes that one of the best trailers ever made if they are even ranked.Never saw the shark.
Nice comments.Be nice to see how many locals feel about their"historic" theatre.I say that because when the Columbia Theatre in Harlem,Ga. revealed the new marquee only a handful showed up and most of them old employees from the 50’s and 60’s.I really think most locals could care less.
I am sure you did not dream it up.the bad thing is if we had the time,Like Nick somehow finds,we could get a lot more of info on theatres here and up your way.
Carmike can close theatres.In Hendersonville,N.C. EPIC THEATRES went into a closed Wal-mart and i think squezzed in 12 screens. I wouldn’t want to watch movie there.
