Information for this tour was contributed by The Evil Sam Graham.

Merle Hay is a single-screen monster house that would best be described as "cleverly hidden". It is wedged in between the Merle Hay Mall, an office tower, Sears, and a parking garage. They have no marquee to speak of and really no frontage exposure. There isn't even access from within the mall. But they do have the biggest screen in town with a 800-seat (or so) auditorium, and they're THX certified.
