Finally closed . I cannot believe it lasted for this long! It proves one thing : Location , Location , Location. I guess Locals that did not want to drive to Huntington Village for a movie? I also think the Commack MultiPlex closing - gave Elwood another decade or so , of life. And as I can see; they played up that “kiddie party” thing too.

I saw this here but only to see Stepford Wives because I missed it prior to this !
I remember the phone booth built into the wall that can be seen here in the small lobby! When “Tales from the Crypt” played there in 1972, 2 of my friends RAN to the phone booth and called their mother to pick them up because the theme music and credits scared the crap out of them ! Till this day - both of them cannot watch any horror movies. Bach; Fauge Minor in D , I think was the theme song.
YES ; they did run this the same as Northport. 76 cents in 76, then 80 cents in 1980s – then it jumped to one dollar in 1981. Same movies and everything.
Does ANYONE remember a movie theater in either Stonybook OR Setauket that decorated the CEILING of the theater with old one sheet movie posters ?? Was this it ??
Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster ?
Wow ! Theatre opened on the night of the Tate Manson murders !

Nov. 1976. I recall the 76 cents made it to 80 cents in 1980. Then it was a whole dollar.

Does anyone remember the dirty , messy, grunge-y shop next door? What type of business was it ?
Note the HAND DRAWN “poster” ! LOL. Normally , a second bill feature did not get a one sheet poster - only the MAIN feature .
Son of Blob, 1972 .
Rocky Point & Commack seemed to show the same movies at the same time. AD from 1970 !

Grindhouse: I’m wondering if we know each other ?
LOL. That York Theatre in Huntington showed a lot of sleaze back in the day. I want to go into a “Journey into perversion”. LOL
Saw this at the Northport Theater in 1974 - (spring time?) when it was on it’s last legs of the re-release before playing on TV that fall.
