There was a time time time... When movie theaters had marquees. For those of you who have no idea what that is. "It's a rooftop projection over the entrance to a theater, hotel, or building"  Now granted there are still some movie theaters that have them but they aren't very common. Here are some marquees with classic horror films on them.


The Night of the Living Dead premiere at Pittsburgh’s Fulton Theater (now the Byham Theater) on October 1, 1968.

Do you have any theaters in your area that still have marquees?
