In 1959 started people to be more involved in movies. They started to make horror movies. They placed a little box under the chair who gave people an electric shock when something scary happened in the movie ( not in every chair, 20/100) They find out if one person started to scream, the other would too.

In 1963 was the birth of multiplex theatre. Until then, the cinema had just one sreen.
