The Art Moderne-style State Theatre opened on Main Street between 5th Street and 6th Street in 1942. The theatre could seat 700. The State Theatre remained in operation until 1980, and then sat vacant until 1993 when it was restored. It was reopened for movies in early-1994, including midnight showings of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show". Though the State Theatre stopped showing movies again in 2003, it was still used for various live events. It had closed again by 2017.

Point Pleasant's State Theater opened in the early 1940s and shares a lot of history with the town. The building is attached to the local hardware store, and the two businesses share a wall. During the aftermath of the Silver Bridge falling in 1967, the town used the basement of the hardware store to temporarily house those who perished. As a result, many people believe their spirits haunt the theater.

Witnesses have claimed to feel cold spots, especially around one particular seat. Lights turn on and off in the projection room, shadowy figures sometimes pass by, and one paranormal researcher felt a phantom hand press on her back. People have also claimed to see the first owner of the theater walk up and down the aisles each evening at precisely 8:45 pm.
