Once when locally they did a Rock Horror Picture Show weekly showing during the year. Seeing all the fans dress up and shout out parts made it feel more like a theatrical experience than going to see a movie. After that, Bruce Campbell was on a book tour. He did a Q&A and hung out as we got to watch Evil Dead the original. Everybody was laughing and bracing and it was a fun shared experience. God, that must have been nearly 25 years ago...My ex-wife and I went to see The Revenant one night. Its pretty damn cold here in Minneapolis during the winter. I think the theater chain had the HVAC system on a scheduler and the set point temp dropped noticeably during the late night showing. Folks were putting their jackets and gloves back on. It gave a very visceral experience to the film.Finally, I went to see 28 Days Later  on a Sunday afternoon. The theater is near downtown Minneapolis on the bank of the Mississippi river. Folks were sitting on patios and enjoying drinks before the show. The mid-west isnt known for having lively Sundays and things tend to shut down early. Though the visceral change in a hundreds of people talking and sipping drinks transitioning to empty streets with the only sound of  wind blowing after the film let out was creepy AF.</blockquote>
