The Redrum Public House and Cinema appears normal at first, even a little ho hum, that is until you really start to look at it. The Redrum was inspired by the old house in the movie "Psycho" starring Anthony Perkins and although the actor was not the first thing I thought of when I stepped through the door, I was immediately drawn in and intrigued by how familiar it all felt. There's a well stocked, intimate bar in the back of the open yet gloomy room, and you sense that if you sit down, kicked back and stayed awhile, you'd be rewarded with a cool drink and compelling company.
While you are tipping your drink you are likely to notice the portrait of the proprietor Robbiani Rumpledink that hangs next to the bar. The eyes of the portrait restlessly roam the room and once in a while stop to glare at you, before moving on. Rumpledink looks a little like Johnny Depp as Sweeny Todd, and gazing into those soulful eyes definitely added something to my day!
Even when it's empty this bar is alive! Always there is a the feeling that something is about to happen, but what? Maybe it's down there through the door in the floor?
But let's move on to the theater. The theater is located upstairs and although the house seems really small from the outside, there is more than enough room for you and your friends to sit in the theater style seating and enjoy the movie. Deep red, the theater has the ambience of your local wine theater. The 1971 controversial classic "A Clockwork Orange" was playing when I arrived, delicious!
Next to the theater is a small store where you can purchase some of Rumpledink's creations. Which you may be needing to do after you see his recreation of the Evil Dead House! If the movie is as over the top for you, as it is for me, the Evil Dead House is going to really blow you away!
The house is insanity and sheer terror yet, somehow, without a lot of gore. A miniature reel to reel tells an erie story, while the Evil Dead book lies face up next to it. You can almost feel those Evil Dead racing towards the house as you listen to that tape.
Next to the store are the Kubrick rooms. Fans of the movie will be absolutely delighted! Lurid and colorful, Rumpledink perfectly captures the unique design elements from the film, making this creation a visually stunning knockout!
So psyche up you aspiring psychos, you're in for a real treat! The intimate atmosphere, films of depth and the riveting creations at the Redrum Public House And Cinema will keep you satisfied for at least an hour. Make up your rassoodocks to spend the evening here with your droogs. It's as queer as a clockwork orange!
I'm singing
in the rain,
just
singing in the rain!
Update
Rumpledink has just informed me that he's moved! He's now on Desperation Kelly. I've updated the slurls to reflect the change. Check out his new place and donate generously!!
