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
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.
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!
8/10
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.
