Prison of the Psychotic Damned premiered tonight at the Buffalo Central Terminal. I must confess, I’ve never watched a movie in a train terminal before, especially an “abandoned” terminal. The whole crew from the Central Terminal Restoration Corporation deserves praise for all the work they’ve done toward restoring this majestic structure.
The Voodoo Dollies provided the musical entertainment for the evening. The band was a very good choice for a couple of reasons. First, they fit right in with theme of the evening. Second, I think they may have helped to draw in a “younger” segment of the population that might not have been exposed to the “Terminal” before.
After the music, it was time for the main attraction. Prison of the Psychotic Damned is an Indie movie which was filmed at the Terminal. It is a local Buffalo production and showcased the building very creatively. A nice-sized crowd showed up for the premiere.
Exploring the interior of the Central Terminal always proves to be an interesting time. The front half of the main concourse was virtually deserted while everyone was watching the movie.
On my way to my car after the show, I couldn’t help but admire the wonderful view of the East Side from the parking lot.

I’m glad you came, Mike!
One of our main goals with our events is diversity. We take care to plan an event that will attract many different types of people that may not normally come out to the east side to see an old vacant train station. It’s that kind of exposure that is going to get our message out there.
It was a great night and a ton of fun!
