Well, here it is, if anybody wants to see it. I guess it is maybe the best way of seeing how truly horrible the condition of the building had gotten, so if there was any doubt in your mind whether it should be torn down, this’ll put a rest to it. The theater is hard to see, it was not only dark, but we were hanging onto a metal ladder than came down from the projection booth. The floor was invisible and sounded like a small lake had formed at the bottom. I tried to boost the levels to make it more visible and in the process got carried away with editing…now it looks like some cheap Ghost Hunters knock-off. Oh well, it still gives me the chills.

I am going to be posting a YouTube video of my adventure into the Colonial Theater back in 2002 or 2003…not much footage of the actual theater, but some creepy footage of the projectors and offices upstairs. Watch for the noose hanging in the stairwell…will post hopefully tonight. Does anybody want to see this?

I worked at this theater sometime in I think 1997 or 98. First of all, though I liked the theater, the owner (an old woman named Ellie or something) had let the place fall into serious disrepair. She had even rejected offers by the local Vo-Tech kids who had volunteered to fix the ceiling for free. It seems she harbored some disillusions about how the theater was going to be saved, or maybe she just didn’t care. She seemed to love the Theater, but she paid us all less than minimum wage and everyone hated her. The last movie I worked during was “Rugrats: The Movie.” Creepy basement, horrible rest rooms.
