It's somewhat reminiscent of the Silent Hill PS2 game. Deteriorating walls/ceilings, very creepy. That was my first impression.

Wow, this pic certainly tugs at my heart. To know in the afterlife that your stuff has just been left behind without a care makes me truely sad. I have been in the psych ward before and to know that if something had happened to me it would just be tossed in a pile along with so much other memorbelia makes me feel like I'm not really worth anything unless I make some make elsewhere in the world. Makes ya think kinda deep i guess.

Wow this theatre is in good shape considering

My favotite pic.....a lonely spirit might have killed them.

Ive Been In A Room Like This And Ill Tell You something... once that door closes and your alone with your thoughts you will actually turn insane

A great site.. To paraphrase Nietzsche,
"I' find madness to be relatively rare in the individual, but quite common in the herd" The word "herd" in reference to most of "us." Nietzsche saw the coming collective madness in 20th century man, and it's all to obvious that ominous signs of madness posess our world today-a relapse perhaps. These photo's are simply the abyss staring back! Great Site!

lynne, thanks for your sensitive and informative comments. What you said about the straight jacket and confining people with your arms proves that the best therapy for anyone with mental illnesses or emotional problems is physical contact with other human beings, much like being hugged ;)

woww that sounds like fun. if i could go in there i'd be able to let out ALOT of anger & rage.

Just a couple of comments from an old projectionist: If I am repeating something stated elsewhere forgive me. The carbon arcs are still used in some theatres that use reel to reel (2000 feet) projection and not platters. Every time you strike an xenon lamp you lose ten hours life so you need platters or 6000 or 9000 foor reels. The exhaust pipe coming off of the peerless Magnarc lamphouses vent the burning carbon and copper gasses out of the booth. I'd be happy to answer any questions regarding the older machines/booth operation.

It's cool in a kind of sense

Encore! :clapping:

its really really sad..

Very Stephen King

Scary looking clown.

Those lights are beasts!! 8 feet long!
as for value... thats a tough question.. depends on the condition.
