Horror film indeed

So you’re sitting there in a movie theater, minding your own business, and suddenly you get stabbed in the chest. No, it’s not the plot of a sweet new Choose-Your-Own-Adventure-style slasher flick, it actually happened. CBSNews reports that on Sunday night, two moviegoers in California were stabbed after sitting through about 45 minutes of The Signal, some bush-league horror film. According to local police, the victims were sitting in separate sections of the theater and did not know each other. The perpetrator is still at large. CBS adds:

Police believe the attacker may be the same individual who had been kicked out of the theater that same day—an intoxicated man who was very disruptive during a movie.

Both suspects were hospitalized after the incident. Thankfully, doctors say they’ll survive.

How scary is that? Something tells me these people won’t be seeing another horror movie any time soon. At least not without adequate protection. Click here to read the rest of the story.
