THE LORD GIVETH WHILE THE CRAMPS TAKETH AWAY

Just up from the shore of every port city in the English-speaking world, there is a movie house that shows horror films around the clock. Drunken sailors on their last few hours of shore leave stagger into it, over the supine, often unconscious forms of local derelicts, winos and general reprobates, in hopes of being frightened back into something resembling sobriety before they return to their ships.
