I don't think anyone's ever done this - does anyone have any funny stories/anecdotes about things that happened while watching horror movies??
Here's mine:
Well, this happened yesterday and made me think of doing this post because its funny. I was seeing "Land of the Dead" for the first time at the theatre, and I was enjoying it early on. But I had just guzzled an entire Regal Cinemas Medium soda (those are huge now), and I reaaallly had to pee. I tried waiting for the best time to go, but everything was actionous or interesting, so I waited, and finally just had to run to the bathroom. I was sooo afraid I would miss something that I rushed up the exit ramp of my theatre and as I zoomed around the corner to the door, smashed my arm into a sharp part of the banister. It sliced my arm and left a 3 inch gash. I was so hurried that I didnt notice for a while. Then I looked down as it was bleeding and it was actually kinda cool - I took one for the Dead team. Anyway it still hurt and every time I thought about it in the theatre (it was all open and nasty) I would shiver. Then it started swelling like a big welt. It kinda looked like a make-up effect. And then the first person in the movie gets bit by a zombie. And for the rest of the movie I could not stop thinking my wound was going to turn into something horrible like in "Cabin Fever".
Anyway, it ended up enhancing the experience, as I kept slipping into fantasy-land and getting paranoid that I was going to get infected ala 28 days Later and turn into a zombie or something...
It was cool...
Whats your story?
