THE CINEMA With FrightFest 2009 fast approaching and passes and tickets on sale soon, we thought you may like to have a look at our new home, The Empire Cinema. In the heart of London's West End the cinema is just 100 yards from our former home at the Odeon West End. The first thing you will notice about the Empire is its size. It's huge. Equipped with the latest projection and sound kit, the cinema has the largest screen in the UK. The seats are comfortable, rock and have heaps of leg room. Click on the graphic on the left and take a 360 degree tour of the auditorium.
