Double Features at the Golden State Theatre

When it opened in 1926, the Golden State Theatre was "The Showplace of the Peninsula." Now restored to its former glory, the Golden State is delighting audiences once again with their own brand of movie magic!

Make going to the movies an event again with a classic double feature:

October 19-20
Young Frankenstein

Hijinks ensue when Young Frankenstein inherits his grandfather�s castle and laboratory. With the help of a hunchback named Eyegor and the lovely Inga.
AND
Topper
Topper stars Zany couple Cary Grant and Constance Bennett as the Kerbys who die in a car crash and come back to haunt their friend, stodgy banker Cosmo Topper.

October 26-27
Invasion of the Body Snatchers

Dr. Miles Bennel discovers that residents of his hometown have been transformed into unfeeling clones of their former selves.
AND
The Fly
Jeff Goldblum is a brilliant, but eccentric scientist, who begins to transform into a giant man/fly hybrid after one of his experiments goes horribly wrong.
