So in my endless ebay searches for VHS collectibles I have happened across a movie called "The Rats Are Coming The Werewolves Are Here" several times. I kind of want the movie just based on the weird title, and so i went to IMDB.com.. THE authority on movies only to discover, and I quote, "After shooting the new sequences, Andy Milligan had a hard time getting rid of the rats, so he created an ad campaign offering free live rats to theatergoers." Jesus, what a night that must have been. What if you had not heard of this promotion and just showed up? This is really insane, but makes me want this movie all the more knowing that the director and/or producer is totally insane.

We're NYers, we don't need no stinkin' promotions to get free rats!

We see those bastards around all the time.
You really have to wonder what the hell this guy was thinking with a promotion like that. I figure that would keep more people away than it brings in.

That's crazy, even more so that he promoted it that way, lol.

Should've been a "Bring your cat to the movie" promotion. They get a free toy out of it.

Lol. That would have been good too. In my case, bring your wife and we have something we guarantee will scare her if the movie doesn't do it.

I think I'd be pretty terrified myself. I wouldn't want a bunch of rats around while I was trying to watch a movie.

My wife tells me stories of her seeing movies in DC as a kid and rats brushing her feet in the theaters in the not so great part of town.
It's burned into her brain I think.

That would be funny if you were seeing a movie like Willard, Ben, or Rats.
