No affiliation with the cinema just a former customer having a daft laugh.

- On this night (6th February) in 1982, the Scala Cinema was showing The Gauntlet (1977), Dirty Harry (1971), The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976) and Magnum Force (1973) as a Clint Eastwood all-nighter.
- On this night (5th February) in 1993, the Scala Cinema was showing Braindead (1992), Doppelgänger (1993), Night Of The Living Dead ‘90 (1990), Eddie Presley (1992) and From A Whisper To A Scream (1987) with short films My Sweet Satan (1994) and Archive Emitica as a Nothing Shocking All-nighter.
- 2 other films were scheduled but not shown, Le Frisson Des Vampires (1971) and Man Bites Dog (1992).
- On this day (4th February) in 1980, the Scala Cinema was showing That Obscure Object Of Desire (1977) and Tristana (1970) as a Luis Buñuel double bill.
- On this day (3rd February) in 1988, the Scala Cinema was showing Le Mépris (1963), Alphaville (1965) and Vivre Sa Vie (1962) as a Jean-Luc Godard triple bill.
- On this day (2nd February) in 1993, the Scala Cinema was showing The Blue Light (1932) and Triumph Of The Will (1935) as a Leni Riefenstahl double bill with “Nazi Short Films For Children”. Posting this as a historical record of what was shown. Nazis definitely not welcome on this account.
- On this night (1st February) in 1992, the Scala Cinema was showing The Omen (1976), It’s Alive (1974), Omen IV: The Awakening (1991), The Brood (1979) and It Lives Again (1978) as a Demon Baby all-nighter.
- On this day (31st January) in 1981, the Scala Cinema was showing an episode (maybe several) of Adventures Of Captain Marvel (1941) and Forbidden Planet (1956) as a kids matinee. A short lived idea not aimed at the usual Scala crowd for Saturday mornings from November 1980 to February 1981.
- Of course I now have Science Fiction Double Feature stuck in my head but that’s nothing new 😁
