*“Living Your Life with Smiles & Light” (with some giggles and laughter, too.) * It just won't stop. How much can the human psyche stand? As our conflict and turmoil continue, it would be surprising if tiredness , frustration, confusion, depression, anger, hopelessness and helplessness didn't describe some of the ways we're feeling as these days of a "version of American genocide" continue "with no end in sight." What can we do to feel better about ourselves, family, (especially children & elders), co-workers and the world itself? Let's take a step back and spend some time lightening up and disengaging from the 'chaos' of our country. Let's refresh, renew, and revitalize our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual energy and well-being to be able to make it through each brand new day. *Looking for ways to bring a little smiles & light into your daily life?Then, try doing some of these “goofy” things just for fun.* 1. Kiss a pig. 2. Stand on one foot. Pat your head & rub your tummy in circles. 3. Wearing a mask infringing on your rights & liberty? You wear clothes, don't you?. Why doesn’t wearing clothes infringe on your rights & liberty the same way you say wearing masks does?? Then, go outside and dance around on your front lawn butt naked. Go to the grocery store butt naked. 4. Turn all the canned goods upside on the kitchen shelves. Switch the silverware drawer. Put forks in spoons slot, spoons in fork slots. Put tablespoons in knife slots. knives in tablespoon slots. 5. Do you sleep with a partner? Turn the bed 'upside down.' Tuck in the top sheet & bedspread / quilt at the head of the bed. Place all the pillows at the foot of the bed. * . . . . . . . . . . * Save and add these “5” earlier ways to put smiles and light into y*our day . . .* 1. Stand on your head with both hands tied behind your back, and 'burp red jelly beans.' Impossible you say? Did you just smile at the absurdity of it? 2. Dance with your dog or cat in the bathroom, in the tub. 3. Put on mis-match Snoopy, Ziggy, Miss Piggy, or Garfield socks. A different one on each foot. Make them visible and wear them to the grocery store or pharmacy. 4. Got milk? Get a straw and blow bubbles in it. Chocolate is even better. 5. Whatever you do to put smiles and light into your daily life, do it with God. Note. I use the name God. You may prefer to use such names as Higher Power, Allah, Yahweh, Creator, Almighty, Divine Intelligence, etc. Save and add these “5” earlier ways to put smiles and light into your day . . . 1. Put polka dots on your golf-, basket-, base-, soccer,- foot- ball. 2. Walk like a penguin. 3.

Update to Capitol Theatre Virtual Horror Marathon release.
by Dave Huffman 24 Sep '20

24 Sep '20

Please note that the last line that included the information on the dates was cut off in the previous version. We apologize for the inconvenience. Tickets can be purchased anytime during the week of October 9th - 15th. For Immediate Release Contact: David Huffman, Cleveland Cinemas Director of Marketing 440.349.3306 dhuffman(a)clevelandcinemas.com<mailto:dhuffman@clevelandcinemas.com> September 23, 2020 THE CAPITOL THEATRE’S SIGNATURE HORROR EVENT ADAPTS FOR 2020 12 Hours of Terror Goes Virtual (Cleveland, OH) Like most other events that require a large group of people to gather in one place, the Capitol Theatre’s annual 12 Hours of Terror is adapting to an online platform for 2020. The Capitol Theatre has partnered with Kino Marquee to present its first ever VIRTUAL HORROR MARATHON. This year, patrons will be able to buy a ticket in the Cleveland Cinemas Virtual Screening Room to an all-night horror marathon that includes the following films: Jess Franco’s A VIRGIN AMONG THE LIVING DEAD (1973), Jean Rollin’s THE NUDE VAMPIRE (1970), Mario Bava’s THE HOUSE OF EXORCISM (1976) & Pete Walker’s THE HOUSE OF WHIPCORD. “The 12 Hours of Terror has become a tradition for many people,” says Dave Huffman, Cleveland Cinemas Director of Marketing and programmer for the 12 Hours of Terror. “It saddens us that we won’t be able to provide the annual marathon that fans have grown to love. I hope that people will take this opportunity to gather in small, responsible groups with their housemates and enjoy these exploitation classics at home.” The Capitol Theatre is currently closed due to the on-going health crisis as well as a major construction project. New, luxury recliner seats are being installed in the two upstairs auditoriums at this time meaning that two auditoriums are not operational. The combination of auditorium closures during construction and, the continued lack of critically important new films in release, has meant that the Capitol Theatre will not be reopening until further notice. Tickets for this year’s Virtual Horror Marathon are $20. 50% of all ticket sales benefit the Capitol Theatre. Patrons will need to create an account with Kino Marquee to screen the films on their Roku or other streaming devices to their TV. “To keep the ticket price down we had to limit our usual 7 film program to 4 so we can’t truly call this 12 Hours of Terror,” says Huffman. “People will have a full 7 days to watch all 4 films once they have purchased their virtual ticket but we hope that they will watch the films back to back in one sitting like they would at the Capitol.” Cleveland Cinemas will also be offering Curbside Concessions for the weekend of October 9th and 10th so that Virtual Horror Marathon watchers or any other home viewer can enjoy authentic movie snacks during their show. The Curbside Concession Packages will be a Large Popcorn and 3 movie theatre candies for $13 and for purchasers over 21 a combo including a Large Popcorn, 3 movie candies and 2 beers for $20. Curbside Concessions will be required to be picked up at the Cedar Lee Theatre or Chargin Cinemas on Friday, October 9th from 4:30 PM - 6:30 PM or at the Capitol Theatre on Saturday, August 10th from 3 PM to 5 PM. Curbside concessions can be ordered at clevelandcinemas.com<http://clevelandcinemas.com> starting Friday, October 2nd and must be ordered by Thursday, October 8th by 5 PM. (Please note that there must be a minimum of 20 orders placed for the Capitol Theatre pickup date for those to be honored. If that threshold is not met, patrons that placed a Capitol order will be refunded.) Tickets to the Virtual Horror Marathon can be purchased at clevelandcinemas.com<http://clevelandcinemas.com>. Tickets can be purchased anytime during the week of October 9th - 15th. ###
