This theater always seemed to show the “B” movies – and if I recall, sometimes an X rated picture as well. I vividly remember seeing several really really bad horror movies here, and i’m not sure if they really were that frightning, or if it was just that this theater was so old and decripid and filthy, that they just seemed terrifying. Still, have a fondness for this place, and some good memories of going there.
