But here is what would later scare his young patrons in particular. He lined the walls with steer skulls, whose empty eye sockets glowed a spooky amber when the auditorium lights went down.
Bachechi called his theater the "KiMo", which in the Tiwa Indian tongue broadly describes anything that is king of its kind.
Like many U.S. movie palaces, the KiMo's financial fortunes declined with the coming of television. Its owners even resorted to showing pornographic films for a while.
But the theater closed in 1968 and remained shuttered for 15 years until a fundraising drive led to its glorious restoration.
Today, the KiMo screens classic movies and offers its stage to regional theater and musical groups.
And the steer skulls glow eerily once again.所以，他建造了一座电影院。影院里满是印第安地毯、形似战鼓的灯饰、雷鸟装饰的墙壁和反向的万字饰。万字饰在美国印第安人中象征着幸福、生命和自由。
但是接下来的将尤其吓到他的年轻顾客：他在墙上布满了公牛的头骨。在影院灯光变暗的时候，头骨上那空洞的眼窝散发着幽灵般的琥珀色。本切其将他的影院称之为“奇摩”，奇摩在印第安提瓦语当中用来广泛形容那些“这一类中的老大”的东西。
像美国其它的电影院一样，奇摩的旺盛的财源随着电视机的问世而逐渐地衰退。剧场的拥有者们甚至一度采取播放情色电影的方法。
但是剧场在1968年关门歇业，并且这一情况持续了15年直到有了一笔筹集款，这才促使人们开始整修以重现往日辉煌。
如今，奇摩放映一些经典电影，为地区性戏剧和音乐团体提供舞台。
同时，公牛的头骨又神秘地散发出光亮来。
