I worked at a movie theater when this came out and the projectionist would open up the projector window and throw plastic spiders down on the audience sometimes. It was hilarious.

Ah so this is why places started having defibrillators on hand.

That could have technically started a mass panic in hindsight. You guys could have gotten in a lot of trouble.

Nobody panicked. The audience thought it was funny (I was an usher, so I swept them up after the few times he did it). They were silly little fake spiders, and nobody was going to get crushed.
