I can't recall with movie it was offhand, but
they gave out barf bags at the cinema with the movies name. There are many other examples. Usually lower budget/shock films that need a gimick to draw people in.

yes, i know so much is so ordinary, so coarse, and so vulgar. but survival is simply not enough. nowhere near.
what's the point of surviving? survive what? don't you realize you're going to die? f*ck your missions, your crusade.
i demand and expect quality.

I hate these things.

Same thing as watching "Entertainment Tonight" or shit like that....more about the "celebs" than the movies:rolleyes:

I never saw Slithis in the theatres but I wanted to because I wanted my free Slithis Survival Kit which they were giving away. Supposedly it had a xerox photo of the monster so you would know what it looked like, and a sheet of instructions on what to do if you encountered one of them.

I did get a little booklet when I saw Beetle Juice the first time, it had pictures of different types of ghosts and descriptions of them, and a couple of collectible stickers. I still have one of the stickers.

We only get Tribute around here, since that's the only theatre chain we have. Oh, and a stand-alone Apollo way up at the top of the province. But they only show three movies at a time.

The only free thing I ever got from a movie was... Pokemon cards, and a rubber snake & comic from SoaP.

They're giving away little rubber snakes at Snakes on a Plane? That's wonderful! Yes, a very good idea. Good, fun marketing.......cheese factor, self-generating advertising for the film, free toy, what's not to like.
