8th Street Playhouse

The Film Guild Cinema was a movie house located at 52 W. 8th Street in Greenwich Village, New York City. Built in 1929 and designed by notable architectural theoretician and De Stijl member Frederick Kiesler (with earlier designs by Eugene De Rosa), it was renamed the 8th Street Playhouse in 1930. The theater operated until 1991 and became known for its midnight movies, particularly The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
