Book excerpt: Most people have a memory bank. This guy has a movie theater inside his head. IN THE DARK: A LIFE AND TIMES IN A MOVIE THEATER is Scott Cherney's anecdotal history of one of life's great pastimes: Going to the movies. This SPECIAL EDITION contains new and updated material chronicling the misadventures of a self-proclaimed film geek who grew up watching movies at the same time the movies were growing up themselves. IN THE DARK recalls such cinematic events as the last days of the Saturday afternoon kiddie matinee, sex education on and off the screen at the drive-in, the incredible period of 1970s filmmaking, and the rise and fall of the skin flick (pun intended). The SPECIAL EDITION of IN THE DARK is a funny, sometimes poignant trip down Memory Lane, now with more potholes than ever. ""A fun journey!""-Actor/Director D.W.Landingham ""Cherney weaves a fascinating tale of his obsession with the silver screen.""-Joseph Fotinos AKA Legendary Horror Film TV Host Professsor Anton Griffin
