Edited from an article that appeared in the Epsom & Ewell Herald July 2002. Please add your own memeries.
The Rembrandt opened with a great splash of publicity, the building decorated with bunting and huge, black banners announcing its first, all-horr0r programme (Certificate H - over 18s only).
The films advertised were Fr@nkenstein, starring B0ris Karl0ff as the monster, and Drac ula, with Bela Lug0si. All very puzzling to we youngsters who had no idea what it was all about. The only hint was the skeleton portrayed on one of the advertising banners, but our parents would tell us nothing about the films. The concept of ‘h0rr0r’ was fortunately not something that could be conveyed to children in those days.
