I miss the Sacramento Inn. I used to perform in a cast at the ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW which ran there for many years. I remember seeing “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” there as a kid. The last film I saw there was the “Mystery Science Theatre 3000” movie. I drive past where it was everyday and get bummed out. Along with other suburb theatres like the Birdcage Walk, the Sac Inn is just a part of my past I can’t go visit anymore.
Unfortunately (in the 70s), the most painful theater seats in Sacto. Even as a kid, had a hard time sitting for a double feature. Quit going there once I got a driver’s license.
I never found this theatre uncomfortable. Perhaps the seats were improved after the 1970s. Saw my first indoor movie at age 5 there: MARY POPPINS. In the 1990s I was there all the time to see Indy and foreign films. Loved this place and it had a nice mid-century modern feel to it. It seemed a lot more 1958 than 1968 to me. One of the two screens was split and although it wasn’t so bad, it was always nicer to be in the big screen auditorium.
i used to live in Sacramento back in the mid 90s . i actually never been to this Theater but i remember seeing it all the time off the Freeway when ever i would go to Arden Mall . havn’t been to Sacramento in years i had forgotten about this theater and from what i see it’s torn down .
I also remember going to see Rocky Horror there. The other screens would be showing Heavy Metal, Fire and Ice and Pink Floyd the Wall. Also remember seeing Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure and The Pirate Movie there. Great memories of that theater.
I saw Problem Child here when I was, maybe, 7 years old. Even at that age I knew what an annoying piece of garbage that movie was.
Opened on June 26th, 1968. Grand opening ad posted.
The 3rd screen opened on June 17th, 1977 by splitting up the largest cinema. Another ad posted.
Is there anything on that site now?
Looks like apartment complex now.
