Eden Meadows Cinemas is a location on the Island in 2287.
Background[]
This ruined pre-War twin drive-in theater was showcasing two motion pictures prior to the War: Last Stand at Fort McGee and Night of the Fish Men's Revenge. The former's title screen is still on a loop in 2287 and the latter can be viewed by using a switch box to change the electrical current to the projector. This was due to a pre-War mechanical failure.[1]
Prior to the war, the theater was going to increase the ticket price by ten dollars, with the management declaring that it wasn't due to declining ticket sales, trying to dispel rumors. Instead, they claimed that the ticket sales were higher than ever and they wished to take advantage. They told the employees that they may have to deal with slightly hostile customers and a brief dip in sales until they got used to the additional cost.[2]
The site is now home to a large number of feral ghouls.
Layout[]
Eden Meadows Cinemas is a drive-in theater with two screens and two projection towers. Its design is virtually identical to that of the Starlight Drive In in the Commonwealth, but it has no workshop and cannot be used as a settlement. There is, however, a weapons workbench in a shed behind the north screen. Additionally, an automated radio signal from the theater features an announcer reading information about the snack bar and upcoming releases while interjecting several comments.
Only one of the projectors can be active at a time, which means if one is activated, using a circuit breaker in each of the corresponding towers, the other will turn itself off. The cinema is currently showing Last Stand at Fort McGee on screen one and Night of the Fish Man's Revenge on screen two. If looking at the back of the north screen on the righthand side, there is a room with a terminal and a wall safe that can only be unlocked by the terminal. The terminal also lists the upcoming releases and two manager's notes.
There are a large number of feral ghouls roaming the area, and inside the south screen, there is another ghoul in the side opposite the staircase. In addition, there is a ghoul inside the locked storage area connected to the same screen. The feral ghouls outside will be watching the movie that is currently showing, so if the second projector is started, the feral ghouls that are intent on watching the title screen will move to the other screen. According to one of the manager's notes on the terminal, only being able to run one projector at a time is due to a "power issue" that needs to be fixed. However, there is no apparent way for the player character to fix it.
Notable loot[]
- Complete Giddyup Buttercup - In the restrooms, east of the north screen.

- Upon returning after the ghouls are killed, players may encounter a hermit crab "parked" in front of the north screen. At high levels, it may be the albino variant.
- A teddy bear is found hanged underneath the stairs of the north screen.

Behind the scenes[]
The trailer of Night of the Fish Men's Revenge is a parody of the trailer for Creature from the Black Lagoon, a movie from 1954 which depicts a fish-man creature attacking people on the shores.
