This was such a quality piece. Nostalgic, realistic, not cartoony, subtle humor, beautifully lit, just really tastefully done. I hope its wild popularity encourages Lemax to do more like this.
Love the piece - the lighting in incredible. The signs look great. Love those posters like you mentioned. The accessory is not to the same scale as the building, you'd have to have the building set back or on a riser to give it more dimension if you're using the accessory too. Great review.
I love this piece. The only thing I find disappointed is the lack of "glass" on the front window. Imagine a nice window like on the library or the raven manor. It would have made this piece perfect
Definitely a spectacularly lit and themed piece. It would be even better with old fashioned movie soundtracks and horror sounds and screams, but I’m also glad they didn’t put in a soundtrack with talking that would’ve ruined it.
Halloween Villages, I loved this piece at first sight, and yes, it looks even better in person. I, like you, have the Mortis Theater, and though the Fright Night Cinema is cool, it's still a long way, for me, from hitting the heights of a Mortis Theater. Still, I'm glad I have the Fright Night Cinema. The posters really did it for me as well. I think they really push this piece over the top and make it easy for me to recommend. I like the pulsating Blob and indoor scene as well, and the sign lighting is fantastic! However... I think Lemax really missed an opportunity to make the Fright Night Cinema stand out among their best. This piece SCREAMS FOR animated parts. The Blob could've used the brain mechanism from last year's Mystery Meat Canning Co. A popcorn machine out front with blowing green popcorn. A slushy machine inside with blood red bubble action. A zoetrope type projection system flashing something animated on the inside screen. So many possibilities. I guess the village development budget was blown this year on the Phantom Castle and Smoke & Mirrors Magic shop. I don't know, but I always wondered what magic Lemax could do if they chose to bring out another movie theater. Though the Fright Night Cinema is still cool, what could've been, leaves me slightly disappointed. Thanks for another great review! vgv

Do you know if they’ll have them again next yr ? I missed out on this one 😢
@annetterobertson4200 yes. Next year this building will be part of the main line where you can get it from online retailers
Wish it was made of of porcelaine, the resine gives it a toy like quality.
