The Beverly Sunset, home to the Sweet Spells and Villains in Vogue shops, was modeled on the Warner Theater built in Beverly Hills in the early '30s. Stepping through the doors under the marquee, the candy shop is the first space you enter. Here, it plays the role of the concessions counter in the grand movie palace.
Continue down to Villains in Vogue (the exterior of which is based on The Ice House in Pasadena), and you find yourself in the theater. Curtains are parted on one side, showcasing the main attraction, an award-winning merchandise selection.
On the opposite side of the shop, look up and you'll find the theater's projection booth, complete with reels of film. It's showtime!
Just visited this for the first time in 10 years. Really like the way the imagineers created the design.
