Oh yeah, at least a dozen people ran out of the theater when I saw it for the first time.I grew up in Wantagh. I saw Jaws and Jaws II in that theater! Everyone freeked when Ben Gardiner's head popped out. I was terrified of being terrified for the rest of the movie after that.
The line was around the block to get in.....had to buy tickets for a later showing and come back.
