Here is a photo I took of the Huelén Theatre in 1994. The film is the 1993 TV version of Journey to the Center of the Earth, which inspired dreadful comments on IMDb because the movie was perceived as being so awful. Here it is getting a commercial run in a South American house.
Huelen means “damned” in the local Mapuche language, so technically this would be the Damned Theater or Theater of the Damned. Some sources refer to the theater in the past tense, but I couldn’t confirm if it was open or closed.
