 According to J. Hoberman, author of "Midnight Movies", it was after five months into the film's midnight run when lines began to be yelled by the audience.The first person to yell out an audience participation line during a screening was Louis Farese Jr., a normally quiet teacher who, upon seeing the character Janet place a newspaper over her head to protect herself from rain, yelled, ""Buy an umbrella you cheap bitch"".This self-proclaimed "counter point dialogue" was soon helped into standardization by Piro and repeated nearly verbatim at each screening.
