Frankenstein @ a local theater, go or not

[Dark Shadow]

GO! Absolutely GO!

I went several years back to see Bride of Frankenstein at a theater in Pasadena, CA. The classic movie combined with the atmosphere of the historic theater (built in the mid-twenties) and the affinity of the crowd made for a truly unique & memorable experience which I often think about and look back on.

it would be great in the right sort of cinema. Going to watch it in one of the new flashy multiplex things would be a waste of time.

Hmmmm....

Definitely go. Back when I was at the U there was a theater that showed old movies on the big screen. Went and saw a few things.... "Inframan" on the big screen was awesome! (I went with some younger guys who'd never seen it before.) 'Specially 'cos they'd play trailers appropriate for the era before the films.

My biggest regret was not seeing "Logan's Run" on the big screen on my 30th birthday. I would grab this opportunity with both hands...

A classic ... on the BIG screen. You HAVE to go.

GO! Do not miss an opportunity to see classic flix on the big screen in theater with other film fans. Philadelphia area horror/grindhouse fans owe it to themselves to check out Exhumed Films. Exhumed has been showing horror/grindhouse flix once a month for over 10 years! I kick myself for some of the shows I've missed.

Got my tickets an hour ago. I'm taking my nephew who just started likeing the old b&w horror movies. I got tickets to Evil Dead The Musical for tomorrow night too. Now I'm really excited!

Wow, cant believe i had any second thoughts about this. It was great to see this in a crowded theater, and a real theater to boot. The Valentine theater was built in 1909 and recently refurbished, chances are Frankenstein was shown there on its first release run. We had a very good time. Thanks everyone, I wish you all could have been there.

That's great that you got to go. Two years ago, my boss and I got to see a double feature: Son Of Godzilla (w/ subtitles), and Frankenstein vs. The Wolfman. It was great to see those classics on the big screen, sit in the theatre w/ other people, and eat popcorn. I wish they'd do it again.

Glad you went. I've passed up several experiences like this, and have always regretted them, especially now that I'm older and have a greater appreciation of the classics.

I wouldn't hesitate to see any of the classic Universal flicks on the big screen. Unfortunately, around here that's not too likely to happen.

I'm not a huge fan of Frankenstein (never saw the movie), but I'd go see it on the big screen.

We have a local theater that occasionally shows older films. I missed seeing "A Christmas Story" there when it was shown during the holidays. I think a theater that shows classic films is a great idea. Gotta see those movies as they were intended.
