Every once in a while somebody sneaks inside the abandoned, neglected Loew's Canal Theatre at 31 Canal Street and takes some pictures, and every time those pictures are worth marveling over. The most recent set of photographs, taken at night, giving the cavernous theater an even more creepy and ominous look, comes from ANIMAL NY , who accompanied a pair of graffiti artists and a film crew into the Loew's sometime in February.
