That happened to me at a non-horror "serious" movie; George Pal's s-f movie, "Atlantis, the Lost Continent". It was at the scene presumably inspired by "The Odyssey" where the evil wizard of Atlantis is turning the hero's shipmates into animals by gesturing magically at them and intoning dramatically, "Every day, in every way, you are getting beastlier and beastlier!" I recognized the line as taken from the 1920s mantra, "Every day, in every way, I am getting healthier and healthier!", that you were supposed to chant every day to avoid getting sick. My grandmother was a great believer. I burst out laughing hysterically. Everybody in the theater looked at me, not in a friendly way.
