Former XXX cinema, now the home of some crazed film experiment. Open to Survivors and the living although our undead friends are asked to only eat the Butterkist.

History

RoadHouse1989.jpg

In the 1970s Chenery Cinema courted controversy when its screening of Come Play With Me was attended by its star Mary Millington. Over 87 fans of Soft-core British smut got over excited and constables had to be summoned. The cinema was shut down a few days later by order of the local council.

In 2008 the cinema was bought by a group of like minded souls designed to only show Rowdy Herrington's 1989 classic ROAD HOUSE. The film runs on a constant loop which possibly explains why both zombies and survivors tend toward smashing the gaff up on a regular basis. There is talk that on a quiet night the ghost of Alfie Chenery can be heard moaning the words 'Ain't no bigger badass...'
