The Haunted Movie Theaters in America

The United States of America is known as one of the leading movie industries in the world. In fact, the U.S. has produced commercially successful movies and holds the record for creating the highest grossing film of all time - the Avatar, the only movie who hit the two billion mark in ticket sales. However, who would have thought that aside form producing massive successful Hollywood movies, the United Sates is also home to some of the haunted movie theaters in the world?

The Mann's Chinese Theater situated in Hollywood Boulevard is one of the famous haunted movie theaters. The theater was built in 1927 by Sid Graumann to host the premier night for the movie "King of Kings." Most people believed that it was the ghost of Victor Kilian, an actor who was killed in 1979, who is haunting the theater. The killer was never caught and according to stories, the ghost of Kilian keeps on walking from Chinese Theater to his apartment nearby in search for his killer.

In addition, there is also the old Warner Pacific Theater also located in Hollywood Boulevard. The movie theater is believed to be haunted by Sam Warner, one of the previous owners of the theater who died in 1927 due to cerebral hemorrhage. One year after his death, there were random sightings of Warner in the administration office and theater.

Lastly, The Pantages Theater situated in Hollywood Boulevard is also reported to be haunted. The theater was owned by billionaire Howard Hughes, the ghost who is believed to be haunting the place. There were reported sightings of Hughes and another unknown female ghost who is reported to be singing when the auditorium is dark and silent.

The Best Snacks and Treats For Movie Theaters

A real treat for me is to go to the movies. I love the whole experience, and one of my favorite parts is indulging in my favorite movie theater food. It's not healthy, and is way over priced but I love it and it makes my trip even more enjoyable.

There is so much food for sale in movie theaters these days that the choice can be mind blowing. Here are just a few of my favorites.

One of my all time favorite foods is now a regular fare in movie theaters. These are the deliciously satisfying Nachos. There's just something g very special about that hot cheese and salty chips. My only problem is trying not to crunch too loudly.

If you want to limit how much fatty food you eat, yet still enjoy a snack at the movies, then pretzel bites. These hot pretzel pieces arrived in our movie theaters during the 1990's and are still going strong. If you want to spoil yourself a bit, get them dipped in cheese, delicious.

The biggest selling candy in American movie theaters is the addictive and delicious Sour Patch kids. The contrasting flavors of sweet and sour are truly amazing, and very addictive.

If you like your candies you'll probably also go for Sno-Caps, Goobers and Junior Mints. Do you, however, ever buy them from a store with your other candy? I bet you don't, as the movie theater success of these candies has never been replicated in the stores.

There is a great variety in the flavors of fountain sodas available, and I admit I like to mix it up a bit rather than stick to the same one all the time. A new favorite is the flavored ice drink called slush; this is exactly what the name says it is, slushy ice with a fruit flavoring.

I'm finishing off this list with the most popular movie theater food ever created, I refer, of course, to popcorn. This became a favorite decades ago and still stands firm as the favorite global movie food.
