Cool Videos: Experience the audience’s reaction to Halloween in 1979

A few weeks back we showcased a recording from 1977 that let you experience what it was like to watch STAR WARS when it opened in theaters. Suffice it to say, it was awesome! Personally, I love it when an audience gets into a film, and there’s no genre that solicits more audience participation that the horror genre.

Today, we have an upload from YouTube user Kyle J. Wood. This is actual audience audio from HALLOWEEN that was tape recorded inside a Hollywood Boulevard movie theater in 1979 – one year after the film’s initial release. Thanks to everyone involved for putting this together! Enjoy!
