The first moving picture, which depicted a horse running at full gallop, was quickly enhanced by the first special effects, which showed a horse exploding next to a 3-D spaceship.

Located in downtown Barberton and one block south of Lake Anna, Lake Cinemas 8’s nostalgic marquee advertises a rotating octet of first-run films playing inside a modernized antique homage to the original theater, which opened in 1938. Viewers settle into comfy thrones as they share puffed kernels, sip sodas, and, as the lights dim, recall fond memories of tunneling into bank vaults. Visitors can choose from a selection of popular new releases or anxiously anticipate a bevy of coming attractions, such as the upcoming Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows.

Lake Cinemas 8’s rates fluctuate throughout the week.
