re: Alien. 45th Anniversery....Just saw it in a theater!

I believe similar things happened during screenings of The Exorcist.

Granted, the thing that squicked people out the most was apparently Regan getting a spinal tap and not any of the actual possession stuff.

i can buy that people vomited. i have a hard time believing there were people literally pooping on themselves in the movie theater. i've been pretty scared in my life, up to and included near death in combat and i've never come close to shitting myself (at least not from fear...but i digress).

but hey, whatever. maybe people in the 1970s were just shitting all over themselves during scary scenes in movies.
