In a recent clip, which racked up over three million views and 208,000 likes, he revealed a “rotting” cinema, which had been left forgotten-in-time since 2020.

In the theatre screens, eerily abandoned seats and spookily dark lighting gives the atmosphere an ominous feel.
One room includes boxes of left behind sweets, which are filled to the brim as if they are ready to be sold.
Over 30 bags of popcorn kernels, one of which had broken over the floor, can also be spotted, along with arcade games and prizes.
Lastly, he shows a movie poster for the film The Invisible Man, which was the last showing before the cinema closed its doors for good.
“The movie theatre felt like it was frozen in time,” the content creator, from Chicago, Illinois, US, told What’s The Jam.
