This came up in a conversation last week and was presented to me as a fact. It's the story of a cursed Missouri box that was real and was, in fact, made into a very prominent movie almost a decade ago.
They could tell by the shape of the building that if this place showed movies, it likely didn't show just any type of videos. Explorers found what appears to be an abandoned 'adult' movie theater buried deep in the woods of Missouri.
Do you love the movie "Back to the Future"? Do you also love monster trucks? If you can answer yes to both those questions, you need to check out the story of a guy named Rich. He's an Illinois dude who converted a DeLorean into a monster truck.
If you grew up in Hannibal in the 1960's or 1970's, you likely remember the Ski-Hi Drive-In movie theater that was located on what is now MM. I found some information that may bring back some memories of that golden era of movies in cars in Hannibal.
Movies about Marvel characters are all the rage these days. Did you know that one of the most famous characters from Guardians of the Galaxy is really from Missouri?
I just watched the new Tom Hanks movie "Finch". It's an excellent flick which has an unexpectedly local connection. It begins in a post-apocalyptic St. Louis. Seriously.
Some of the most beautiful places that I have been to are old theatres, and I find it sad that when I find a beautiful movie palace like this just falling apart.
