Now when you say Madman, you mean the movie "Madman," about the crazed farmer who offed his family living in the woods, etc.?
I remember seeing Madman in downtown Los Angeles when it came out (1981, or something like that?), and that was definitely a wonderful movie experience. It is actually not a bad slasher movie and has many things going for it. We were probably fifteen or sixteen years old and technically they should not have let us in, but somehow we did get in. (We had to go to a trashy theatre to even see this film, because it was such a sleazy "Under 17 Not Admitted" type gory horror movie that it actually was playing in very few houses in town...)
Anyway, when I saw it, I was with a couple of friends from school and it was playing with a couple of other exploitation films in a creepy, sticky, dark old theatre that I think was around since the 30's or 40's. Most likely closed down now. But it was a big old movie house, I know of very few theatres like that now, they have all been converted into plastic multiplexes, and are all clean and bright. My memories of old movie houses are all of rather dark, murky, mysterious places, with a kind of a popcorn smell that had soaked into the walls!
