Halloween: 1979 Audience Reaction

From DarkCastle2012 on Youtube: "This is actually AUDIO (with the appropriate video scenes added -- a little out of sync, sorry) taken inside a movie theater in October 1979 (of the 1978 movie HALLOWEEN). I lived in Hollywood, California at the time -- a couple of blocks west of the Chinese Theater, just off Hollywood Blvd. I failed to see the film in 1978 when it premiered. In October 1979, it was re-released and playing at the Vine Theater (Hollywood Blvd. and Vine St.) where it was doubled-featured with The Toolbox Murders. I took an old Radio Shack cassette tape recorder inside and sat in the front row to try and capture some of the music audio from both films. HALLOWEEN was then relocated to the Hollywood Theater (now a Ripley's Believe It Or Not museum) a week later and double-featured with Go'in South (a Jack Nicholson film). HALLOWEEN continued to play there until at least Thanksgiving(1979). Jamie Lee Curtis was part of the Hollywood Christmas Parade that Thanksgiving. I watched her car pass right in front the theater's marquee as the parade moved down Hollywood Blvd. I saw HALLOWEEN nearly 20 times while it was at that particular theater (usually having to suffer through the last half hour of Go'in South each time). I never tried to record audio inside again. The audience reaction to the HALLOWEEN film was always the same. Varese Records eventually released the record album soundtrack in 1983. So I finally got a clean audio of HALLOWEEN's music! But I kept the old cassette of the stuff I taped. This was just a few excerpts from it."
