I lived in walking distance of the Elwood Theatre. I remember going there in the mid Sixties with other kids from the Forest Hill neighborhood. It was inexpensive and the weekend matinees played movie favorites such as the Beach Blanket series starring Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon along with horror movies such as The House on Haunted Hill and Brainstrom. In addition the Elwood showed several films in the Thief of Baghdad genre – in blazing color and with super size genies. I suspect that some of the movies were Italian imports that were dubbed. Many fond memories of a place where my love of this art form began.
