thanks chris…
The Movie that Mike Rogers was talking about “The Night Daniel Dies” was also known as “The Blood Stalkers”. A horror movie about two tourists in Florida who is attacked by a chilling group of backwoods psychopaths.
In the 1960’s I worked at the Albany Theater. Billy Jenkins was in charge of the Martin Theaters at that time. I can’t remember the date, but the first movie I worked was the Disney movie, “The Adventures of Bullwhip Griffin”. Then Mrs. Johnson, who was manager of the State, hired me. My first movie that I worked there was “Double Trouble” that stared Elvis.
this place was great. went to a couple ‘planetOfTheApes’ marathons here, as a kid. jamb packed with hundreds of screaming, bawling kids throwing all manner of food at each other. now that, my friends, is entertainment.
Here are my pictures of the State from January 2011.
Jan.1 1975 “SOUND OF MUSIC” returns with ADULT ticket prices set at $2.00 a seat.Three shows daily.
Feb.18 1970 NOw Showing “THE ROSE”
well, it was on GOOGLE! 1978 called “BLOODSTALKERS” Plot like Deliverance,but that is all.
Yeah,you wonder where it is at today.Had to be a very low budget movie,Maybe I will Google it.they have every blasted Movie made.
Never heard of that classic movie.
