When I was a child I'd sneak out to catch the double feature horror films at the local theater. No one else liked horror so alone, I'd sit waiting with sweaty anticipation for the lights to go down and the movie to begin. Trilled to death to be doing something so grownup and risque.
The Second Cinema is that movie house from your childhood. It has the feel of old theaters from the 60s and 70s; dim, creepy, yet exciting as the lights fade to black.
You can pick up the usual concession items; snacks, soda and while you're grabbing your eats, join the Second Cinema Group to get weekly updates on new movies.
Turn around to find your seat and you notice red drapes hung on either side of a nice big screen. Choose from plenty of comfortable seats that invite you to kick back while catching up on those vintage horror classics. Nightmare On Elm Street, Jaws, Evil Dead, if you're a horror buff you'll be absolutely delighted with the titles!
Right next door is the Second Drive In, same owner, vehicles supplied. There is a different horror movie shown at the drive in. So between the them, you get a choice of two delicious scary thrillers, or hell, just catch them both. Either way, both theaters are bound to bring back fond memories!
When you're done with the theater, make your next stop Grimworx. Located across the street from Second Cinema, it's a real treat offering so many different spine chilling items you'll spend a while delightfully checking them all out! For the horror connoisseur, there is a life sized Hell Raiser puzzle box, from the film Hellraiser 2. It comes complete with all 4 Cenonbites, or "pinheads" that suddenly materialize and surround you. If you love unusual and outstanding decorations for your haunted holiday parties, pick up the spider horde. Hundreds of apple sized spiders scramble across your floor, crunching very satisfactorily under your feet as you walk over them, leaving green glowing blood to mark your path,
Nice.
As for the island itself, pretty conventional. It's a picturesque, charming beach town. With miles of pristine beaches, fantastic shopping, and always something to do. Take an air tour or explore Amity's rich undersea life complete with reefs and caves. It's even rumored that there is buried treasure. People have also reported sighting mermaids, I kid you not.
So I highly recommend this island for.....,
What's that you say?
Ok, so there is that pesky little on going murder investigation, but that was a fluke! Amity has the lowest crime rate in the metaverse!
Ok,yes, and you're right, their Christmas display is definitely twisted, but have a sense of humor! They didn't REALLY hang Santa.
OK, OK, OK, and yes, yes YES, I've too heard there MIGHT be something big and terrifying in the waters off the coast. But all the beaches are open, they would have closed it if there were something truly dangerous RIGHT?
Seriously, you watch Way too many movies!
Anyway, sometimes what you see is NOT what you get and little Amity Island with the Second City Cinema, Grimworx and a host of other mysteries and secrets, has plenty of hidden surprises.
So take my advice and just come, bring your camera, a pal and get your dark on while enjoying Amity's strange and freaky hospitality!
