I saw my first ‘X’ film , “The Pit & the Pendulum”, at the Savoy. The minimum age in those days for an ‘X’ was 16 but, being tall for my age, I got in at 13. To make myself look more adult I went in smoking a cigarette! I can remember almost every detail of that visit, such was the experience. From then on I was hooked on horror films and still am, but there is nothing to compare with the thrill of getting in underage. I was never once challenged over my age, although on numerous occasions people, who I could see were older than me, were refused admission.

Kenroe – lovely to see your photo.

This was my local cinema for many years and I have so many great memories. I was there on the last night (LA Confidential) and I said on that night I would never go to that store when it was built (I never did although have long since moved). This building sparked my interest in cinema and it’s history. I remember the days when there would be queues outside – the multiplex in Lea Valley definitly had an impact on attendance, but there was always a loyal attendance.
