Wow, I actually remember going to most of those films. I also remember checking what film was playing every Friday afternoon to see if The Empire Strikes Back was ever billed.
I remember very clearly that the last movie to play at the Haven in the spring of 1985 was a double feature of Rustlers' Rhapsody adnn Brewster’s Millions.
I just uploaded clips from the tv movie Queen of the Stardust Ballroom that has exterior shots of Woodhaven 1975. Including one of the Haven theater, from the side at least, you can see part of the marquee.
I lived in this theater starting at 7 years old in 1977 seeing Star Wars until closing in 1985. A couple of times my parents came into the theater just to take me home. I would go there in the morning and watch movies all day. $1.50 for a double feature!
Also, the top of thge page is incorrect, the last show there was a double feature of Richard Pryor’s Brewster’s Millions and Tome Berenger’s Rustlers' Rhapsody, two horrible comedies in the spring of 1985. The theater shut down just before the summer splash of 1985, and that’s why I never saw Back to the Future until video.
Wow, thanks for the link. I hope someone out there has better pics of the Haven, I have been dying to see them for a very long time now.

RobertR, I can’t wait for those pics.
I haven been searching for photos for years and always come up empty. There has to be some somewhere.

If you have any others from the Haven, I would love to see them.
What else do you have in those files? I’m interested.
