What happens

Blood Theatre (also known as Movie House Massacre) is a 1984 American independent slasher-horror comedy film directed by Rick Sloane and starring Mary Woronov, Jonathan Blakely, Jenny Cunningham, and Joanna Foxx. The film includes many bizarre movie theater-related deaths, such as being fried inside a popcorn machine, stabbed in the ticket booth, electrocuted by a film projector, decapitated by a projection booth partition, stabbed while a movie is playing on screen, smoke inhalation from burning film, and a telephone receiver which breaks apart while a dying girl screams hysterically into it.
