I managed movie theatres for 9 years so this one’s kind of a gimme...

The movie I had the most fun with was probably Arachnophobia w/Jeff Daniels.
I’d occasionally stand in the back of the theatre with a fishing pole with a big rubber spider tied to the end of the line. I’ll let you fill in the rest.

Once I accidentally spliced reels 3 & 4 of “Patch Adams” out of order. The saddest part is it was two weeks before anyone noticed, which was especially surprising given that a major character dies during the 4th reel. Not sure what the audience though had happened.
The 5th reel of one of the prints of “Home Alone” sent to our theater was dubbed in French but with English subtitles for some reason. We didn’t notice because the other two prints were fine...and again, no customers complained for nearly a week.
Finally, a print of “Hook” showed up with the teaser trailer for “Alien 3” attached to it. The one where the voiceover says “the suspense is back...the terror is back...but most of all, the bitch is back.”
“Hook” was a kids movie.

Thankfully none of us ever screwed up THIS badly...
