The Silver Screen Theatre[1] was Escambia county's final locally owned and operated movie theatre. It was also Escambia county's longest running movie theatre. The theater featured first-run movies at a discounted price. It was once known for its frequent showings of Rocky Horror Picture Show.
In September 2013, the owners announced the closure of the theatre.[1] It's believed to have closed due to the high cost of digital projectors.
