I may have lived in the Detroit area my whole life, but I love when I find a hidden gem. A few weeks ago, my fiancé and I were looking to do something different and cheap since we are pretty much broke like the rest of the world. I was flipping through a current issue of the paper I work for when I came across an ad for the Redford Theatre and a screening of Airplane! I was ashamed that I had never seen it before, and the tickets were only $4 so I thought I'd give it a shot.
It was a dark and stormy night (literally, and not surprising for Michigan) as we drove through the rain to Lahser and Grand River. The moment we set foot in the Redford Theatre, we were pleasantly surprised. There before us was a quaint, unique and vintage theater that showed movies the way they should be shown! An organ recital was a classic prelude to the screening, which was complete with an intermission, raffle and old school concessions.
This weekend we will be heading back to the theater for their Halloween double feature. They will be showing H.G. Well's The Invisible Man back-to-back with House of Frankenstein, and tickets are only $6 a person. If you decide to go there will be prizes for whoever is brave enough to sport a costume. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of apple orchards and haunted houses to discover as well, but this double feature at the Redford Theatre is one-of-a-kind and any Halloween enthusiast should not miss this.
