The Scariest Looking Abandoned Theaters
I’m pretty sure if it weren’t for the movie A Clockwork Orange I wouldn’t give abandoned theaters a second thought. But as it stands, the potential rape scene coupled with the acts of the old ultra violence coupled with the fact that the theater was about to collapse at any moment kind of left a scar on my brain.
So when I came across these crazy abandoned theater pictures it reminded me that at any given time there might be some kind of weird ass stuff going down in one of these places. And that is not a fun feeling.
But since some of you like to be freaked out, here are 20 abandoned theaters that I doubt I’d enter
Thank you Julia at Abandoned Theater for these.

Seeing abandoned movie theaters always makes me sad. They used to be grand palaces of entertainment, now they just sit and rot. Boo.
Funny you mention A Clockwork Orange; that was the first thing I thought of when seeing the main pic.
the first one on the list makes me think of the rape scene from the beginning of the movie.
Well, there is wear an tear, yes, but scary? Not so much.
“Theaters” in the basement of your church don’t count.
any sources for these?
Beautiful photos. And while sad, they show clearly a vision of what one day could be, again.
Any idea where these photos comes from?
Best,
Ant.
They’d be scary at night if you were there alone and heard noises. Maybe some of them will be refurbished.
Such a waste
I can has source?
Thank you very much for not posting the locations of these theaters, as that would have added more meaning to this article. You’re an idiot.
Those photos were taken from the website abandonedtheaters.com. I don’t see the photog credited though.
Third on down on the list is the old Michigan Theater, once great now a parking garage.

the fifth from the bottom looks like something out of silent hill.
No crediting of sources at all? Some photographers did a lot of work to get these photos, the least you could do is give them credit for taking them.
If you would have done any amount of research (and I mean any) it would have taken you about 3 seconds to credit the author of these beautiful photographs.
Her name is Julia Solis.

You’re welcome!
Not even close, I spend good portions of my childhood in places far scarier than these places. A derelict old theater is a thing of beauty for those who are willing to squat and revive those things of old the rest of society has given up on.
