I'd go there, but I don't live there.

Both Jekyll & Hyde and The Slaughtered Lamb in NYC have succeeded, so there's a market and Austin is a great weird town, but I'd keep the gore on the servers and the screen to a minimum, at least during the lunch ad dinner hours...you need people to be able to eat in order to make money in the restaurant biz.
And with the Alamo Drafthouse closing soon:( there will be a void in the market...although I believe Harry Knowles has a plan up his sleeve to revive the drafthouse at a new location. Good idea.

sounds good, but i'd ask a different demographic. let's face it, everyone here'll love it. do your market research in the city you are planning to open in. good luck with the business!:cool:

well, there is most definitely a target market for this in austin. HOLY SHIT, i had no idea the downtown drafthouse was closing, but they are opening a new one right on 6th st. the crowd in austin loves this kind of shit, and there really isnt that much of it around. i have some other friends going to other forums that have nothing to do with horror asking opinions also, i just wanted to know how my fellow horror freaks felt about it. we are about to get our loan money hopefully in a couple of weeks, than it shall begin, will keep everyone updated.

We have such a cafe near our hometown too. It plays rare vintage horror films from the 40s-50s era and also the odd Hammer Horror thrown in. The atmosphere is stupendous for such a place.
I really think this would be a great idea if implemented correctly. This could be one way of bringing back the masses and letting them into vintage horror. I remember seeing pics of a cafe or restaurant in Europe which has employed H. R. Giger's works into its decorations and furniture. The entire furnishings and the inner look is totally Giger-ish. It was in a magazine not too long ago, but unfortunately I dont seem to recall it right now. Maybe one of you knows about it. Such places bring the style of horror to the common man. Hopefully this may be the start of a new trend.

we are for sure going to use old vintage movies like that, especially the classics, and i love the hammer stuff, but my main interest, as well as the interest of the public in austin, is leaning more towards 70's-90's horror. although, i want to show mostly old stuff during the day since there is little to no gore, and show the more crazy stuff later. we plan on making sure the atmosphere in there is completely horror, there wont be a blank spot on any wall. plus, the zombies and other characters we will have walking around will help with that.
