THE #ABBEYDALEPICTUREHOUSE #SHEFFIELD : #SHOCKINGWEEKEND! #DOUBLEBILLSOFHAMMERFILMS!

I AM ALWAYS very happy to give a #shoutout to anything that has a #PeterCushing / #ChristopherLee or #Hammerfilm flavour that is happening local to you... no matter where you are. All businesses are feeling the squeeze right now and certainly need any publicity they can get. Our local arts centres, community events and certainly our cinemas need your support... and the amazing 102 year old 'Abbeydale Picture House' in Sheffield, UK has been through it all.. and is still standing . . . and always providing great value for money! Simon Greetham has dropped us a line, to let us know about a weekend coming up and a fabulous opportunity to witness a Cushing and Lee classic plus THREE other beautiful Hammer films on THE BIG SCREEN! - Marcus
