Regent Cinema

... that a Halloween-themed protest was held at the former Regent Cinema in Deal, Kent, to urge the owners to "raise [it] from the dead"? Source: "Up to 200 cinema campaigners swarmed the seafront on Saturday in a bid to 'spook' the owners of The Regent into action. The planned Halloween protest by the Reopen the Regent pressure group was aimed at ending the ‘horror’ of an 11 year wait for the Deal building to be converted into a cinema. Mrs Holland, who was given the role of getting the crowd to howl in an attempt to 'raise the Regent from the dead', added: "There was a lot of enthusiasm back in 2019 and there was good faith that something was going to happen."" from: Perkins, Eleanor (2 November 2021).
