midnight movie

A midnight movie is a film typically shown at late-night hours, often featuring cult classics or niche genres that attract dedicated audiences. These screenings became popular in the 1970s and 1980s, offering a communal experience where viewers often participate through cheers, laughter, or costumes. Midnight movies tend to have a rebellious or unconventional vibe, fostering a sense of camaraderie among fans. They serve as an alternative to mainstream entertainment, celebrating unique or unpopular films and creating dedicated communities that appreciate these cinematic experiences outside regular viewing hours.
