I bought tickets online for last night. They were the last ones for the last of the 7 rooms. I never thought it would be so popular.

Last year me and my friends went to the midnight showing dressed as wizards..... and we vary in age from 16 (my lil bro and his girlfriend) to 32. It was soooo much fun and it was nice to have a night to just be dorky kids.

I admit it, my husband and I went to a 12:30am showing. NEVER AGAIN. I don't know if it was the teenagers in the theater or maybe we're just old, but wow, the teens were so obnoxious. It really solidified to us why we do mid-week matinees and not evening or weekend movies.

I did this with Transformers 2 and felt the same way you did, except there it was mostly middle aged guys being obnoxious
