The chilling tales feature The Tell-Tale Heart, The Raven, Masque of Red Death and The Black Cat.
The American Theater on Upper King Street is the perfect venue for this one-of-a-kind experience, providing a timeless, historic atmosphere. Established in 1942 as the premier movie house in Charleston, the sophisticated venue boasts an intimate lounge and bar, handmade milk-glass chandeliers and a vintage exterior marquee.
