    Absolutely obnoxious staff lacking in basic manners. Ruined the entire movie experience. Would NEVER come back. Waste of money.​

    ORIGIN: A seasonal resident of the community who worked in…read morethe coastal hospitality industry, Seth Moseley, built what later became known as the Colonial Theatre in 1923. According to local lore, he built it as an entertainment center to please his wife while they resided in rural Litchfield County. On the second floor was a ballroom, ground floor a movie theatre, and basement had a bowling alley. After decades of use the theater closed in 1997. Since then different groups of community members have stepped up to revive and restore the theater. LOCATION: The theater is located on a street that intersects with the town's main thoroughfare. This section of town is recognized by the National Register of Historic Places as a historic zone for its large collection early twentieth century buildings. These buildings arose after the crossing of two regional railways sparked commercial development. CONCEPT: Aligned with how the venue was initially conceived, the Colonial Theatre is a community hub for entertainment and celebrations. ATMOSPHERE: Many early 20th century design details have been preserved or restored, including a mural depicting the surrounding community in the lobby. EXPERIENCE: A variety of events sponsored or hosted by regional businesses take place at the theater. As one example, Boondocks Film Society hosted an event in which 1930s style cocktails were served alongside a streaming of the 1934 class -- The Thin Man. Live jazz by the Orson Handel trio accompanied the pre-screening competition cocktails. The site, with its art deco details, was especially fitting for this event. TIPS: There is an excellent restaurant across the street from theater -- Industry Kitchen & Bar. I've enjoyed the burgers, sandwiches, and tacos (see my Yelp review.), but they also offer fancier dinner entrees. Check the theater's website and Instagram for upcoming events.

    My husband and I have been here several times - we kept expectations low on food, but it was…read moresurprisingly fine - the chicken was really nicely flavored and juicy - the potato was nicely done and with lots of butter and sour cream - damn good - the green beans were fresh, but limp - but edible. Dessert was some kind of toffee cheesecake with fresh whipped cream - again, not gourmet, but good! It's like what you could make at home, but you don't have to cook or clean up, and you get to watch a movie. All this for $50 for 2 - not bad. We went on Wed for pizza and a movie - again, surprise - the pizza was pretty good - the ceasar salad was tasty as well - crisp lettuce - decent dressing - could have used anchovies, but I'm a traditional ceasar salad kind of girl. Oh, and it was $10 for the movie and a pizza for each of us. Only downside - it's cold as heck in the theatre - not sure what the deal with that is - I was cold the first time, the next time I was prepared and enjoyed myself immensely. Will we go back? You bet!!

We weren't sure what to expect from our experience, but we spent about an hour here and thought it was really cool! The owner is so nice and really takes the time to go through each and every piece of his exhibit with you. Learning about the connections he had with the actors and how he obtained the different props was so interesting. If you're looking for something different to do, I recommend stopping by for a tour!

    The Witch's Dungeon Classic Movie Museum is a classic movie monster museum that opened in Bristol,…read moreConnecticut in 1966. It was founded by local artist Cortlandt Hull. As a young boy, Hull was frequently ill and occupied much of his time by building Aurora monster plastic model kits. He soon became fascinated with movie makeup and how it could transform an actor into a fearsome creature. Hull was disappointed with the "Chamber of Horrors" at many wax museums, so he decided to open his own horror museum. He started building life-size monster figurines. The first one he built was "Zenobia, The Gypsy Witch". Hull's father Robert helped him build a Swiss chalet-style building to house the full-size monsters, and the museum officially opened in 1966 when Hull was just 13-years-old. As an adult, Hull worked in the film industry creating art prints as well as creating special effects make-ups. He made a lot of connections with various actors and make-up artists over the years. His museum continued to grow and the monster figures continued to improve. For several decades the small museum was located on Hull's home property and was only open during the Halloween season. In the 2010s, the museum relocated to the Bristol Historical Society. There was more room for the monster figures and Hull was also able to showcase many of the authentic movie props he had collected over the years. The museum moved to its current larger location in Plainville in time for Halloween 2020. It is now open year-round, not just for Halloween. I have visited the Witch's Dungeon several times over the years since I was just a young boy. I still remember that first visit very well because it made such an impression on me. I'm a huge fan of the classic movie monsters. I've enjoyed watching the museum grow and improve over the following decades. There's an impressive collection of various movie artifacts and props, but the real stars of the museum are the full size figures of classic monsters that appeared from the 1920s to the 1950s. Some of my favorites include the Frankenstein Monster, the Phantom of the Opera, Count Orlok, the Fly, and the Werewolf of London. The latter was portrayed by Hull's great uncle: the late actor Henry Hull. If you're a fan of horror films then you must visit the Witch's Dungeon Classic Movie Museum!
