I went to several Sci-Fi Marathons at the Orson Welles Cinema. I believe it was in 1977 that they scheduled They Came From Within in both theaters. Knowing how controversial Cronenberg was I decided to watch it first in the theater showing it first. Just before the film started I was the guy who shouted out, “Get the kiddies out of here.” No one listened to me. After the film was over the manager came in to apologize for showing the movie and announced that it would not be shown in the other theater. As I remember it all these years later I think it was the most uncensored version shown.
