Rialto Theater

The Rialto Theater was located somewhere in California, not far from Windsor College. In 1997, it hosted a special sneak preview of the highly anticipated slasher horror movie, Stab, which was based on the best-selling true crime novel "The Woodsboro Murders" by author Gale Weathers, which in turn, were based on actual events that took place in the town of Woodsboro in 1996.

For the one-night sneak preview of Stab, the Rialto handed out Ghostface costumes to all of the customers, along with glow-in-the-dark knives as souvenirs. As such, many of the patrons in the theater, were dressed in costume and having a good time, shouting at the screen, running around pretending to be a killer and throwing food all over the place.

Windsor College seniors Phil Stevens and his girlfriend Maureen Evans went to the theater to watch Stab, though Maureen preferred to see the new Sandra Bullock movie playing across town.
