I grew up watching horror flicks 2 for .75. I have an avid love for all old theatrical movie houses. I grew up in the Warner Theater in Lawrence Mass. I close my eyes and can still see, it, the orchestra pit, stage, huge velvet red curtains, the look of the rugs leading downwards to the first row, which looks almost like every carpet in every photo I have. I run a website www.horrortheatervideo.com which I dedicate mostly to the glorious days of the horror double features of the 60’s, and 70;s. I also am a photographer and photgraph as many old drive-ins and theaters that I can. I recently moved to Claremont NH and passed a closed old theater in a part of downtown where the whole street is full of closed building. In fact the house I bought was built in 1865. I am also in preproduction on filmming my first independent film. With all that going on I will like to offer my services. I notice you got a few one sentence answers saying send everything to me me I can do it, but I have explained in detail my love of this genre, have a large depth of knowledge of the architecture and the times of these palaces, and feel I can be a help to you. My script takes place largely in an abandoned movie house, an I hope I found the perfect one. If anyone in the Claremont NH knows of any palaces, pleaase make me aware. As for your site, I feel my experience and absolute dovotion to theaters will be of great help, If interested, please let me know what is involved and I will begin when you are ready to send.
You can get photographs if you call the Lawrence Eagle Tribune and ask how to research their archives. I myself grew up in Lawrence and remember many a weekend spent at the Warner and seeing a horror double feature for .75. Even then I was in awe of the historic look, the orchestra pit, stage, large red curtains, lights on the wall, everything. I am researching for a book on these theaters, but information besides the info on this site is extremely hard to come by. I also am looking for former owners, and managers who may still be living that can supply me with some historic stories and/or pictures or original posters from the era. Back then, they threw them away, now they are worth a fortune. Some old theater managers I met had some that they kept. I am always on the look out for original or archival ad mattes from the newspapers. If you wish to contact me on the Warner, Central Cinema, Merrimack Park Drive-in, or the Riverview Drive-in in Haverhill, my e-mail is
