Experiences in a theater.

Ha-ha!!!  I've had some GREAT experiences in a theater!

When we were kids I went to see Ghostbusters with my older brother in one of the local cinema's (The Regal).

All well and good there.

I then went to see it again with my friend Mark. Knowing full well what was going to happen when the Ghostbusters were sneaking up on the ghost in the library I yelled "RAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHH!!!" in Mark's ear at the point where she turned round to frighten them. He jumped out of his seat letting out the second most girly scream I have ever heard in my life.

Mark clearly did not learn his lesson about going to the cinema with me as I was able to repeat this when we went to see Jaws 4 together.

BAHAHAHAHAHA!

I had a related experience with Ghostbusters. My uncle took me to see it with my brother, who was probably 7 or 8 at the time. When the ghost appeared in the library, my brother shrieked and had a bit of a meltdown. Uncle had to take him out of the cinema, and I watched the rest of Ghostbusters alone! Thank you for sparking that memory.

When I watched Shutter Island right at the climax of the movie the film stopped and burnt out. It was a good 30 seconds before the house lights came on and a few minutes after that that somebody came to apologise but before that happened it seemed like a fitting point to be at given the themes of the movie as to whether it was real or not.

My Dad and Ma took us to see 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY (1968) at a drive in, so he packed me and Mike and Glenn in the trunk, so he didn't have to pay for us. My brother Glenn dumped a Coke down the rear window radio speaker. I fell asleep after the ape man part.
