Description

Kilingback Cinema in Danversbank is a 1930's Art Deco architectural masterpiece constructed in the between-the-wars period. It was lavishly decorated with the finest contemporary chrome, glass and Italian marble. Today the cinema is a veritable fortress, heavily barricaded with scavenged vending machines and car parts salvaged from the wrecks in the cinema car park.

Kilingback Cinema is unique in post-apocalypse Malton for its description is "You are inside Kilingback Cinema, its dark lobby decorated with posters for a 1930s vampire film". When a generator is available, the description becomes "You are inside Kilingback Cinema, a 1930s vampire film playing on its main screen". The film is Bela Lugosi's classic interpretation of 'Dracula'.

Kilingback Cinema is now the occasional home of discerning moviegoing survivors and is maintained at EHB in accordance with the Provisional Danversbank Barricade Plan. The nearest VSB entry point should be Percival Street Fire Station.

History

Kilingback Cinema was revered throughout Malton for the owners' adherence to pre-Mall pre-Cineplex ideals, often eschewing the latest Hollwood garbage in favour of showing genuinely classic movies from the Golden Age. This policy led to the cinema enjoying unprecedented customer loyalty. Unfortunately Kilingback Cinema was full on the night of the infection outbreak and the cinemagoers were quickly infected by a single coughing zombie - nobody survived to see the final reel.

Status

Announcement: The Batwing Brigade is holding a party here on June 1st. The building will be powered so that we can once enjoy the dark talents of Bela Lugousi, and shall be held at VSB or better barricaded, with revives and healing provided as needed. Appropriate decorations, music (live or recorded), poetry readings, and so on are welcome and invited, as are any and all of Malton's dark undead. (Sorry, zombies are dead, not UNdead. Revived = undead.) -NTLA1
