Conjuring double feature - opening night theater experience.

Rating: 8/10 (10 June 2016)

Wanted to share the Conjuring's opening night theater experience...
Conjuring 1 at 5PM was good even with plot holes big enough for a casket. I screamed once and did the dead frog electrode thing a number of times. I understand it was the highest grossing horror movie ever at well over $300M. Hard to figure when it was just me and one other guy at the theater. Fool 'em once, can't fool 'em twice I guess.
They showed the double feature in one of their smaller theaters (#11). Conjuring 2 was to follow in #11 as well.
Had some ginger snaps and small drink for part 1 (brought Ginger Snaps with me). Left at intermission to get something more to eat. Came back and was working my way back to #11 but an usher blocked my path and said the manager wanted to see me. (All this over Ginger Snaps???)
Was told projector broke and part 2 was going to be in their "Premium Theater" where seats cost $19.95. Described it like an IMAX (they have one of those as well). Manager said to go back to #11 and pick up my stuff but I asked him if okay to get new. As they did not have Ginger Snaps, I settled for a small drink. Got to pick my seat off a selection screen. No charge for drink or upgrade to first class!
Conjuring 2 was excellent. No one or nothing dies (including the dog which cannot be said for the dark "comedy" Lobster). Well written, good dialog, lots of slower parts for recovery then a scare again. Even lots of LOL humor. And the scary parts were well crafted. My back and knees are sore this morning. These were launch popcorn roof high scares. The audience loved it and applauded afterwards even staying for most of the credits. Great evening, especially with the never had happen before, first class upgrade! About time though, I've certainly accumulated the miles (and hours).
Cheers to Good Movies Nights! Doug
