Basic Info: Cinemas are "shrouded in darkness" when unpowered. In the presence of a fuelled portable generator, a Cinema's flavor text will change to one of the following: "…a black-and-white drama film still looping silently on its main screen." "…a recent horror film still looping silently on its main screen." "…an old horror film still looping silently on its main screen." "…a black-and-white documentary film still looping silently on its main screen." "…a recent drama film still looping silently on its main screen." "…a dramatic science-fiction film still looping silently on its main screen." "…a black-and-white science-fiction film playing on its main screen."

There are two cinemas in the suburb of Dunell Hills. These are:

[edit] History

One of the most controversial theatres in Malton, Eckersley Cinema has a long history. Starting out as part of the Malton Community College's Theatre and Drama Program it served as the private theatre for many student films.

Funding from grants left to the school dried up in the late 1980's forcing the College to sell off ownership. It was snapped up by a performance art troupe that specialized in controversial plays. The midnight shows of Lolita inspired a very real kiddie porn ring in ironically named nearby Lolley Library.

After being shut down by the FBI, the theatre sat empty for a few months before being purchased by Furchase Enterprises. Although, slightly less revolting than kiddie porn, the Furry Film Festival "Our Tails of Love" was too much for the good citizens of the rest of Malton. Residents from surrounding suburbs picketed and protested outside of the Dunell Hills theatre for weeks.

With help, the crowds were dispersed and life returned to relatively normal as the theatre again sat empty.

These days it sets empty still, but only because it, like most of Dunell Hills, is in ruins and controlled by the undead.

[edit] Current Status

You are standing outside Eckersley Cinema, a tall yellow-stone building with boarded-up windows. The building's doors have been left wide open, and you can see that the interior of the building has been ruined for several weeks.

Somebody has spraypainted The Downfall - starring Agent Marty Banks onto the 'now showing' board.

There are two other zombies here.

There is a dead body here.

Newten Cinema (shown after the outbreak) Behind Coffin Dr. and the Stone Motel, Newten Cinema specialised in showing classic Horror flicks. One of the first to feature grindhouse movies and 3-D film festivals, Newten Cinema truly became the local hang out on the weekends by showing The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Ironically, when the Outbreak happened everyone in the theatre was slaughtered due to the fact they thought it was part of an interactive intermission during a Fulci film festival.

However, these days like the rest of Dunell Hills, it is ruined. Fittingly, it is only inhabited by zombies these days as the undead have destroyed all of the suburb forcing survivors to resort to Netflix for their movie fix.

[edit] Barricading

Both cinemas are to be extremely heavily barricaded.
