Overview

The Midnight Ghost Shows were a gimmick used by movie palaces in order to entertain the populace, as entertainment was the one of the people's only outlet during this time. These shows involved techniques of mixed media such projections, stage performances, and bioluminescent paint to name a few. The highlight of these shows featured a blackout section, in which the power in the whole building would be shut off in order to get perfect darkness. A perfect time for a robbery.
