They used to do that at Kirkpatrick Chapel at Rutgers on Halloween when I was there. Staff members used to quietly approach you while you were engrossed in the film and lay a hand on your shoulder. Most recipients of that screamed.

The New Jersey Historic Trust notes that the chapel [built in 1873] “is an excellent example of High Victorian Gothic ecclesiastical architecture…and the chapel’s stained glass windows contain some of the first opalescent and multicolored sheet glass manufactured in America.” Four of the chapel windows are from the studios of Louis Comfort Tiffany and date back to the late 19th century.
