"Sleepwalkers"

A high school student played by Mädchen Amick has a job at a theatre in a small Indiana town in "Sleepwalkers" (Columbia, 1992). The theatre they used was the Aero at 1328 Montana Ave. in Santa Monica.  

"They feast on your fear - and it's dinner time." Stephen King wrote the story about a shape-shifting mother and son who feed on young girls. Also featured are Brian Krause, Alice Krige, Jim Haynie, Cindy Pickett, Ron Perlman and Lyman Ward. We get cameos by John Landis, Joe Dante, Tobe Hooper, Clive Barker, Mark Hamill and Stephen King. Mick Garris directed. The cinematography was by Rodney Charters. Thanks to Ivan R. Hahn for noting the theatre's appearance in the film.
