When I saw the earthquake movie they brought in altec Lansing speakers so you could feel the vibrations of the bass .this was before the sound systems they have now
I didn't see Earthquake at the theater. I went out to see two other Sensurround movies: Midway and Rollercoaster.
Nope, not getting those gimmicks.
You got 9 out of 10

9/10! I would've love seeing Clue in the theater. I think I would have seen it 3x just to see the multiple endings.
7/10. I've only seen 3 of the films mentioned..."Psycho, Earthquake & Rollercoaster". I bought "Rollercoaster" at my supermarket when they were getting rid of their videos. It's on VHS.
Well, I saw Rollercoaster in a theatre and i was disappointed...LOL!
The villain, Tim Bottoms, was pretty good. So cold, calculating and meticulous. He covered every detail of his crime.
7/10 mostly guessed
8 out of 10 woo hoo
7 of 10. Several wrong guesses but a lot of new ideas for movies to see! Actually, I found a pair of those 3D "ghost-viewer" cardboard glasses while cleaning out my parents home, so I knew #2 question for sure!
6/10, boo for me !
Same here.
And here.
8/10, never knew that about Clue.
7 for 10

All guesses
I see now that Svengoolie's "Svensurround" comes from "Sensurround" which I've never heard that term before this quiz.

9 out of 10. I missed number 8. And can I say Clue is one of the best movies ever.
Most of mine were guesses also...and I missed #8 also...speaking of sick bags....in junior high I got hold of an airline sick bag which I used to pack my lunch in.....yes I've always been a little weird.
Cool! I guess when the bags are used on a plane, you're "un-packing your lunch", so to speak!!
Yeah the bags were unused....but in hindsight I could have dumped a potpie in the bag to simulate and started a barfing outbreak like in Porky's.😆👍
