But even that experience would pale in comparison to seeing Sir Anthony Hopkins sitting behind you, potentially just moments after you’ve seen him mutilate a guard and steal his face to make an escape attempt.
If that moviegoer saw that same look of glee on Hopkins’ face that he uses while recounting this story on Jimmy Kimmel Live, they’d probably start to laugh in a very relieved manner.
Now that has to be one of the funniest, but also one of the creepiest, ways that fate has called out someone on an off-handed joke.
It’s akin to going to a Friday the 13th screening, and joking that Jason is waiting in the audience, only for Kane Hodder to be sitting right behind you, hockey mask and all.
