What a wonderful read, Gareth, thank you. I love an old cinema - there's so much history, as you say, and there's just a lot more soul to them than there is to a more modern cinema. An old cinema in the town I grew up in used to sell plaques to put on their chairs, so people could donate to them in some way outside of just paying to see a film - I always think back to one that simply said "this is where I first held your hand." Magic.
(There was also a very creepy old cinema in my town, where I once saw a film burn up on the screen mid showing. Fascinating to see, but didn't much help with the creep factor of the place)
There is nothing quite like a cinema visit. I remember watching Star Wars at the cinema when it came out and then saw it again in the 2000s just pure magic.

Oh wow. I love the story of the chair. That sums up my thoughts on cinema perfectly!
Yeah there’s a creepy cinema in the woods not far from me. They were showing The Shining at Halloween and I just couldn’t bring myself to go 😅
Oh lord no, stay away from that one 🪓🤪
