How many theater owners do you think are going to go along with the audenience antics (thowing toast, shooting water pistol's et....) in their theater's? Without the audience participation, it's really a very bad movie.
I remember once squirting jergens hand lotion during one of the sex scene's. Somehow, I don't think a theater owner today is going to appreciate that move. I'm not certain they did back then either.

It was a huge Midnight Movie draw at the theater I worked for back then. We had a agreement with the regulars that they would stay and help clean up after the movie and they did. Was interesting time for sure...RHPS in one theater, Song Remains the Same in another...these were staples. Others held The Wall or other movies. I think we even showed Pink Flamingos...but that didn't last long. Amazing what was basically allowed back then. I have good memories of working the Midnight Movies and being jealous of those coming in to party while I worked.
