My uncle saw it 4-5 times just for the last 20 minutes or so which was the best parts of the movie. He actually saw the whole series up to Jason takes Manhattan and then he quit on it after that.

Yea and he still talks about it at times during family gatherings. He also saw Halloween when it hit the theaters and told me about the girls screaming and panicking when Michael came after his sister, starting with the part when he smashes his hand through the door and while his sister was crying for help with Michael coming for her through the lawn and street. He said the theater was crazy during those moments. He also saw the sequels up to Part 5 then stopped and said the theater never had that reaction again since the series became less scary and silly.

A lot of screaming through the whole movie.
