The Start of Cemetery Season!!!!!

I beg to differ. The sound is abysmal.

We sit in the "chairs" section, off to one side, so one channel of the stereo mix is inordinantly prominent, to ill effect. Perhaps there's a better mix in the "floor" section.

Also, the speakers are so far out from the screen that the illusion of dialoge synch is hard to come by. This problem is more prominent with older films, it seems.

Um, but the sound sure is loud, if that's what's meant by "good sound."

I'm gonna try to get there early Saturday ... so hopefully we'll see, er, hear if a closer position helps the sonic experience in any way.

In any event, The Haunting is a fantastic film, atmospherically abetted by being shown in a cemetary.
