The vendors are open from three in the afternoon until 12 Midnight. So you can shop before the movies and in between films on intermissions. Note: there is no elevator and vendors are one flight of stairs up.
5PM MOVIE: GORGO (1961). England's version of Godzilla is terrific! Too bad there weren't sequels...great effects...see Gorgo crush London (Tokyo survives!). 7PM MOVIE: JOURNEY TO THE BEGINNING OF TIME (1954). A group of kids raft through time and discover dinosaurs! A Czech film made in 1954 with scenes added in 1967 and released theatrically in the USA. 9PM MOVIE: THE LAND UNKNOWN (1957). On an expedition to Antarctica, explorers find the a hidden land in a plateau crater. The "land unknown" is filled with prehistoric monsters. One memorable scene has a plesiosaur in a swamp/lake after the hero and heroine. Fun stuff when you were a kid, fun stuff again on the BIG screen! 11PM MOVIE: THE VALLEY OF GWANGI (1969). Cowboys and dinosaurs. A Willis O'Brien (KING KONG) project finally realized with animator Ray Harryhausen. Harryhausen's effects are outstanding. A scene with the allosaur inside a huge cathedral is a knock-out!

So you can shop before the movies and in between films on intermissions.
3PM MOVIE: THE LOST WORLD (1925). The silent Sir Arthur Conan Doyle story of Professor Challenger heading an expedition into darkest Africa to bag dinosaurs. Great effects (INCREDIBLE for the time) by Willis O'Brien, who did the stop motion for KING KONG. PLUS, this silent feature will spotlight live pipe organ accompaniment by Jay Spencer at The Palace! 5PM MOVIE: KING KONG (1933). The original 1933 classic with Robert Armstrong, Fay Wray and Bruce Cabot. An enterprising promoter (Armstrong) and a young beauty (Fay Wray) travel to Skull Island. Dinosaurs galore and the mighty ape -- KONG, preside there. Armstrong captures the giant ape and brings it back to New York. Kong escapes and knocks New York on its ear. 7PM MOVIE: GODZILLA, KING OF THE MONSTERS (1956). The granddaddy of Japanese monsters. This radioactive dynamo comes out of the box fired-up, literally! Watch him destroy Tokyo (for the first time) while Raymond Burr just looks stunned. This is the American version release in English language. 9PM MOVIE: DINOSAURUS! (1960). Stars Ward Ramsey, Kristina Hanson and Paul Lukather. A frozen Tyrannosaur, Brontosaurus and a caveman unthaw from watery depths and find themselves in the 20th century. A young boy befriends the Bronto and even gets a ride. While the Tyrannosaur is just plain nasty (as expected), and the caveman provides the humor as he tries to cope with a modern world. The unforgettable climax has the T. Rex battling a steam shovel! 11:00PM FREE PRIZE TOSS! To wrap up another great Palace Theatre MONSTER BASH with Creepy Classics, it's the free prize toss. Right after DINOSAURUS, Creepy Classics will toss from the stage free DVDs, blu-rays, monster magazines and fun monster toys to the audience as a thank you. Catch what you can.
