Public Service Announcement: October is "Vintage horror films" month!
SETTING:
Wow, I just have to say that Manor Theatre is an absolute gem. This place is extremely well kept and clean. Manor underwent a fantastic renovation job and still retains a hint of vintage with the decor, which I appreciate. A home theater feel...that is, if I lived in a mansion.
SERVICE:
All the employees were efficient and polite. For the midnight showing of
Rosemary's Baby" (part of the October horror films segment), a few employees went out of their way to add to our experience. They dimmed the lights and re-enacted a small part of the film we were about to watch. Then they asked us some trivia questions about the film--those in the audience who answered correctly got little prizes. Definitely a nice touch!
IMPRESSIONS:
Can't beat it. A smaller theatre with all the works AND affordable prices (tickets and snacks/bar). Sure, it doesn't show all the newest movies and handle large crowds, but that's not why I come here. I come here for some of the indie films and "specials". For example, every Saturday midnight in October they are showing a vintage horror flick.
Growing up in an immigrant family, I never really watched the classics, so thank you Manor for helping me out with American culture! Coming again next week to watch "The Shining"!
