Est. 1997 · Pflugerville Commercial Development
Cinemark Tinseltown 20 opened in Pflugerville, Texas on December 19, 1997. The 20-screen complex has served the growing Pflugerville community and north Austin suburbs since that opening, and continues to operate under Cinemark management, now branded as Cinemark Pflugerville 20 and XD.
No historical events at the site — deaths, accidents, or prior land use — have been identified in available sources that would provide context for the paranormal reports associated with the location.
Sources
The paranormal accounts at Cinemark Pflugerville 20 are consumer-sourced and consistent in type, if not in detail. Cold spots are the most frequently reported experience: distinct temperature drops in seating areas during screenings, not attributable to air conditioning placement. Food and drink containers — cups, popcorn bags, buckets — are described as being knocked over from undisturbed positions.
The most unusual reports involve small personal items vanishing: watches and jewelry described as present when a guest entered, absent when they left, with no obvious explanation. Whether these disappearances were thefts, misplacement, or something else is not resolvable from the reports.
No documented historical event at this specific site has been identified to explain these accounts. The theater opened in 1997 on suburban commercial land, with no prior use that might generate paranormal associations.
Cinemark Pflugerville 20 is a fully operational 20-screen multiplex serving the Pflugerville and north Austin area. Visitors have reported cold spots in seating areas, unexplained displacement of personal items, and items disappearing during screenings — though no historical event at the site has been identified as a cause.
Every HauntBound history is researched from documented sources. We clearly separate verified historical fact from paranormal folklore.
Waco, TX
The Waco Hippodrome opened February 7, 1914, designed by Waco architect Roy E. Lane and Dallas architects Otto Land and Frank Witchell. Managed by entrepreneur Earl Henry Hulsey, it was known locally as 'Hulsey's Hipp.' A fire in the production booth in 1928 destroyed the forward section; it was rebuilt in 1929 in Spanish Colonial Revival style and reopened as the Waco Theatre.
Georgetown, TX
The Georgetown Palace Theatre was built in 1925 by A. C. Moore of Bartlett, Texas. It opened in February 1926 as a silent-film venue and operated continuously as a movie house until 1989, making it the oldest continuously operating movie theater in Williamson County at that time. A 1936 remodel by the Englebrecht family added the Art Deco facade — the only such facade in Georgetown. The nonprofit Georgetown Palace Theatre, Inc. purchased the building in 1991 and reopened it as a live theater in 2001.

New Braunfels, TX
Gruene Hall was built in 1878 by Heinrich D. Gruene as part of the cotton-farming community his father Ernst had established in the 1850s. The hall served the Gruene community through its cotton-boom decades until the boll weevil infestation of the 1920s and the Depression collapse of the cotton market left the town largely abandoned. It was restored in the early 1970s and has operated continuously since, earning National Register of Historic Places status in 1975 and a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark designation in 1988.
