I have a miniature print of that poster on the wall in my garage. Found it randomly on some streamer a couple years ago and loved it.
If anyone hasn't seen the Midnight Movies documentary, it's on Youtube free

Probably also on Tubi or one of the other free services.
quote:
The film chronicles the period between 1970 and 1977 in which six low-budget films shown at midnight transformed the way films are made and watched:[4] El Topo (1970), Night of the Living Dead (1968), The Harder They Come (1973), Pink Flamingos (1972), The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975), and Eraserhead (1977).[5]
Also portrayed in the film are the films Freaks (1932) and Reefer Madness (1936), which gained notoriety and a huge cult following thanks to midnight showings. Providing interviews are filmmakers George A. Romero, Alejandro Jodorowsky, John Waters, Perry Henzell, David Lynch, and Richard O'Brien, as well as film critics Roger Ebert, Jonathan Rosenbaum, and J. Hoberman and Ben Barenholtz.

Saw all three Lord of the Rings movies at midnight on their premieres.
Last time I’ll ever do that.

Was one of the two employees in the street directing traffic around that mess.
What a night. We had a spotlight out front with the bat signal too.

I saw Avengers Endgame at midnight. Didn't want to have to dodge spoilers on social media the next day

This thread has me nostalgic for our college theater at USL, The Bayou Bijou. One regret that I have is that I didn't get involved with the group that managed the theater and picked out the films played there. It was the one place in town where you could see the rare indie films in the 70's, as well as classics like The Marx Brothers, and films that had run in the theaters but had not hit HBO yet.
They also had a TV room in the student union, that would have odd films running on a loop. So you'd be walking by and see Bakshi's Lord of the Rings playing, or The Groove Tube or some other odd film.

again. The parking lot at that oneal theatre is massive it stretches back along the interstate a couple 100 yards. Not exaggerating when I say that’s the only time I’ve seen it completely full and every theatre in the house was dedicated to The Dark Knight
We did the IMAX at the mall, there was a huge line with people camped and when they opened the door to the theater everyone RAN to go get seats
Awesome experience and will never be replicated

Yep, a theater in my hometown must have ran this one at midnight on Fridays and Saturdays for a couple of decades.

You also always had the midnight premieres of new movies. With the changeover from film to digital, seeing a movie early is no longer necessary.
The other thing that is gone is dollar theaters. We lived at Broadmoor.

Kids these days wouldn't even show up. Their attention spans are generally too short to wait for something. Zero patience.
