    Reminds me of something from the opposite end of the lifespan. When I was young, they didn’t clear the theater after a movie, and they sometimes had “double features” where they’d alternate between two movies and you could watch both for one ticket price. My dad’s aunt lived with us (she was probably in her 70s at this point), and one day a couple of her friends picked her up to go watch “a double features of animal movies” at the local theater. They dropped her off some hours later and her face was grey - she said it was horrible, and didn’t want to talk about it.

    It turned out the double features was Day of the Animals and Night of the Grizzly, basically both horror movies. They didn’t think they were allowed to leave during the movie, so they stayed through both.
