The ticket agent was busy with a couple at the window — so I took the chance and stepped inside the doorway. I figured if I got caught, I’d jus’ claim I was only going to use the restroom.
I managed to walk straight through the lobby and into the theater.
It took me a second to find a couple of adults that I could sit next to and look as if I was with them, that way no one would question why a kid was being allowed to see such a movie. I had jus’ sneaked into to see, “The Exorcist.”
Dumb move on my part — but I was being controlled by my hormones rather than my brain. I had heard so many things about the cute actress, Linda Blair and her topless scene that I didn’t give much thought to the fact it was a scary movie.
In fact I never saw much of the show as I spent much of my time hiding behind the seat back in front of me. And to this day I have never seen the supposed topless scene I had heard so much about as a young teen.
I’ve also never sneaked into a movie theater since.
