The Oldham — Local services in Winchester

I have a very interesting story that some may consider creepy… So last night, my father was getting off work and on his way home around 11pm. He came to the stop sign and seen the oldham was closed with no cars in sight yet he seen what he thought was an employee in a dress inside walking from the popcorn machine to the ticket booth. Now a lot of you may already know that sometimes the oldham does have people stay over at times to clean and maintenance their areas.. or that’s what we thought until today.. I just spoke to Montana who I assume is over the theater is some way (great customer service btw) I asked Montana if she had any employees at the theater at approximately 11:19 pm. She stated that no employees would be in the building at such a time.. then I go into detail with her, explaining what my dad has seen a day prior.. I heard in her voice she was stunned and chilled in a way. I told her if she had cameras in the theater that she should definitely watch the tape.. she said she would take a look so I assume she does have some sort of surveillance or at least I think so.. I hope I can come back with an update...

Very disappointing experience. The theatre itself is so charming and coming here could be a really cool experience. Drove almost an hour with our kids for a matinee, we arrived a few minutes early and got in the huge line, which moved painfully slow. On finally entering the building we could see the problem: the ticket and concession stand are combined. Two lines with one teenager at each taking food, drink, and ticket orders for each person. By the time we got to the desk we were 30 minutes past show time. The movie was well started. Being exasperated, I expressed that they should not start the movie until everyone who was in line on time was admitted and that they really should have separate lines for concessions and tickets so that they can get people in on time. The girl responded defensively that they couldn't do either thing, and to be fair, it really isn't her fault. It's the fault of the management. We left and went to chattanooga, for a smooth, if less charming, movie...

The Oldham is a two screen theater located on the square in Winchester, with the balcony converted to a smaller second theater years ago. It's location means that you are also only a block away from both Piezan Italian restaurant and Ta Krai Thai cuisine, along with a Burger King for finicky eaters. Oasis steakhouse and Domino's are less than two miles away on S College St, as well.

The pricing of both tickets and concessions are lower than major chains, but you can still get new releases quickly. We enjoyed Ghostbusters Afterlife upstairs in their comfortable seats during its second week of release (new releases start in the larger downstairs theater.

If you're in town and looking to spend a pleasant evening out, this is a great,...
