I know all too well the power of the campy movie, which has developed a huge following over the years and even has generated many spin-off books. When I lived in Boston back in the day, I can recall dressing up for the show — with all my clothes on backwards and a lampshade for a hat. I carried the requisite water pistol, toast and other props to the theater, and had a blast in the crowd-particpation event. (That was also the era when an Allston movie house kept Harold and Maude on the marquee for years.)
