The Mark II Theatres of Aiken, SC closed in the late 1980’s or early 1990’s. The current Aiken Playhouse was built on the site around 1995 or so. I grew up in Aiken, and saw many films there as a teenager. It was originally a single screen theater until 1985 or so. I remember going to see “Raiders of the Lost Ark” there when it was a single, and “A View to a a Kill,” “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” and “Moonstruck” when it was twined. The original screen was quite big, and it was sad to see it twinned back in 1985.
