Come On, Eddie, Let's Go Steady!: Ed Wood and Vampira attending a benefit for the ailing Bela Lugosi at Hollywood's Paramount Theater, May of 1955. 1994's "Ed Wood" depicted her as a near-complete outsider to Wood's circle of Twilight People prior to the making of "Plan 9 From Outer Space," but she had already met the director through Forrest J. Ackerman two years prior and had appeared on television with Lugosi.

Downtown Denver (No. 2)

The Paramount Theatre is a concert venue in Denver, Colorado, located on Glenarm Place, near Denver's famous 16th Street Mall. The venue has a seating capacity of 1,870 but is a popular destination for large acts looking for a smaller concert setting.  With spelling as Paramount Theater, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

The Paramount opened in 1930 as a movie theatre, part of the Paramount-Publix Theatre Circuit, the exhibition arm of Paramount Pictures. The theatre itself was designed by the Chicago architectural firm of Rapp and Rapp, with decorations by designer Vincent Mondo, murals by Louis Grell of Chicago. The original main entry to the theatre was at 519 16th Street, where an entrance lobby was cut through an existing commercial and office building.

Bela Lugosi

House if Wax Premiere

His appearance was intended to promote publicity for The Atomic Monster, a proposed future role for Lugosi. The movie was eventually filmed by Ed Wood under the title of Bride of the Atom/Monster.

The "Love to Hate It" Tour: Ronny Chieng packs Denver's historic Paramount Theater

By Daniel Paiz Paramount Theater welcomed comedy veteran Ronny Chieng to the Mile High City with two packed shows in Denver Friday night. The longtime The Daily Show correspondent and Marvel newcomer delivered jokes across a wide spectrum of topics, ranging from the difficulties of stabbing your wife to how self-improvement can go very wrong for men in the United States.

LOOK AT HIM!! He's so freaking cute!

(New Sonic 3 teaser just dropped. Look at Shadow's little sassy pose! But, of course, I love them all! They're so cute just chilling watching a movie.)

Also, look at him eyeing the chili dog that Sonic probably bought for him but he originally refused and now he's having second thoughts:

"It could use some coffee beans..." -Shadow probably

Almost ready to see RY speak in Denver!

(Having a cut because hilarious potential OS spoilers in bracelets below)

I almost did the Broccoli bracelet for myself but ultimately went with a Quest Squad. And I did get the Violence specialty drink which was good … but your girl is a lightweight FOR REAL. Also saw a fellow fanfic writer I knew would also be coming. No one else has specifically recognized the Basgiath Dragons jersey, but I have gotten many compliments on it.

Downtown Denver (No. 3)

The three story office and commercial building featuring what was then the theatre's secondary entrance on Glenarm Place, now the main entrance, was designed by the local architect Temple H. Buell. Buell's design is a modernized, art deco interpretation of the Gothic style, executed largely in cast concrete and white terra cotta.

For several decades the Paramount enjoyed success as one of the premier movie houses in the Rocky Mountain region. Then, like other large movie theatres, its patronage declined as population and commerce dispersed into new suburban areas. By 1978, it was the last movie palace left in Denver, and started hosting opera with a production of Madama Butterfly in October 1978 by the Denver Opera Company. The venue has survived and evolved, and now plays host to numerous concert and performance acts. The theatre was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, and the city of Denver recognized it as a historic landmark in 1988. Eight years later, Sinbad performed his HBO comedy special "Son of a Preacher Man" here.

In 2002 the Paramount and the building next door was purchased by what is now Kroenke Sports & Entertainment.
