Thanks Lynne.
I just stumbled upon this site. Now I am hooked.
Considering that I am very familiar with this old equipment, I thought I'd help and positively identify what it truly was. People's imaginations are so fertile and interesting, perhaps it would have been better if I did not I.D. it.

Do they just let these buildings sit abandoned until they just fall down? Then it's,"Oh, it'll cost too much to do anything?"

These places have got to smell musty and moldy! I've been in a few that really did!

Ah, the good old days with the ushers and the flashlights. (boy, am I telling my age or what?)

I put all my family's 8mm films on VHS years ago and now everything is DVD.

When I was a kid, I used to love the balcony! That was when they were REALLY movie theaters with beautiful staircases leading up to the balcony.

Many years ago, I got my daughter a life-size doll for Christmas. For some reason it always scared her and used to say it would move on its' own. Strange what go through kid's minds.

What experimental patients, kahuna69?

through those doors into hells playground. CREEPY

I think I'll go take my grandchild for a walk and "restrain" her in her stroller. : )

From under your bed, why do you like wheelchairs?? Gotta be a reason.

I used to walk these tunnels on a regular basis, to pass the time whilst my Mom was at work in the Whitman Bldg. I was 9 YO and thought they were cool. They did not smell, They were very clean and I believe they were primarily used to keep residents off the streets. Pennhurst may have been old but it was very tidy in the 1970's.

It looks like Dario Argento was here!

Agh! Thanks, guys, now * I * see the eyes too!
Gonna have spooky dreams tonite!

"Please, sir, may I have some more?"
