Several young moviegoers hoping to see “Madagascar 3″ in theaters got a traumatizing surprise when “Paranormal Activity 4″ was projected onto the screen by accident.
The mistake had children “crying and screaming” as they ran toward the exits of Nottingham’s Cineworld in England this weekend.
But not before the audience members, some as young as five, were treated to the scary sight of a bloodied corpse flying at the screen.
“It opens on the most terrifying scene in the first film — where a body shoots full pelt towards the camera,” Natasha Lewis, whose eight-year-old son was in the audience, told Yahoo UK.
“It’s enough to make grown men jump, so you can imagine the terror in these young faces.”
Lewis said the frightening movie played for over two minutes before the kids fled the theater — long enough “to scar them for life,” she added.
A spokesman for Nottingham’s Cineworld apologized for the incident, which apparently stemmed from a “technical error with the projector.”
“We take matters such as this very seriously and are currently working with technicians to ensure this does not happen again,” the spokesman told Yahoo UK.
The theater offered the terrified moviegoers a refund and complimentary tickets, as well as the chance to see the real “Madagascar 3″ half an hour later.
But Lewis says that’s not enough.
“The cinema needs to check the film before sending everyone in so they don’t make this mistake again,” she said. “I’m disgusted about it, mistakes like this simply should not happen.” [source]
First of all, the thought of screaming terrified children running around and dashing for the exits just… it just gives me LIFE!!! I loooove seeing people terrified of ish and dammit… kids are not exceptions.
Second, I would scream and yell my azz off also if i had to watch some damn stupid Paranormal Activity 4…3…2… any of those damn films. Stupid, hollywood. Can we get some original horror, dang!!! It’s impossible to watch the Paranormal Activity movies without getting upset and screaming at the screen…even if you aren’t black.Because…..black people love to yell at the screen like the actors can hear us. Still, you can’t get scared of what is going on because 90% of the movie could have been avoided if the actors just would listen when we scream: RUN B*TCH!!! RUNNNNNNN!!! You can’t be scared when you are mad as hell. I swear, horror movies turn black people into the biggest racists ever, because we sit there just…jsut cussing every last bit of whiteness there is. It’s IMPOSSIBLE for a black person to watch a horror movie without yelling: DAAAAAAAAAAAMN AWWW DAAAAAAAAMN… WHITE PEOPLE!!!!
I’m not even lying.
White people, watch a horror movie with a bunch of black people and just wait for the racism to raaaain down. I’m not even lying.
Third… teee heeee Afro Circus…. I love me some Afro Circus…. Dun dun dunnununa-dununt Afro!
ANyway, yeah… i feel bad for the kids…kind of….ok I don’t. Scaring people is fun.
Hell, I STILL laugh at this damn video and it’s been yeaaaaaaaaars…..

This is the funniest s**t I've ever heard of. I would pay cash money to see a bunch of little kids scared s**tless like that.
BTW, Madagascar 3 is my joint! I was sitting in the audience watching the circus scene with all the colors like, "I CAN'T WAIT to watch this high!"
Whenever a Child's Play commercial would come on, I'd get so terrified I'd just run out of the room if I couldn't find the remote.
One morning, the news showed a clip of the movie when the Mother realizes there are no batteries in the doll and he comes to life.
I ran out of the room so fast, I slipped on the carpet and into the door frame and split my pinky toe down to the white meat. I had to get stitches.
DAMN, Cakes! You need a hug? an intervention? a support group??
Mane…I need hug and a shot of Wray & Nephews Overproof rum.
I use to punch my 3 feet blinking eye doll to let that heifer know who was bawse.
Me and bite size monster scary movie do not go together.
I got my daughter one of those dolls when she was younger. At first I had to remove it from her room at night because she didn't want it in there and a couple of weeks later it had to be removed from the house entirely because it was freaking her out tooo much!!!
Those dolls are the dressed up demons.
Man, I remember when my cousin scared the ISH out of his brother by turning on my Cricket doll with NO SOUND and sat it on the bed next to him… in the dark… then tapped his shoulder and waited.
I had never seen a man move so damn fast. Nearly broke his neck and the damn doll! He fugged his brother UP… and I LAUGHED!!!
Do you need someone to touch your booty to make it better?
I mean….well :0)
Don't feel bad Slaus. I couldn't stop LMAO because I thought the story was hella funny. Those kids thinking they are going to see hippo and then they see dead bodies with blood! LOL….Don't get me wrong, I'm not into scaring little kids, but the visual of that scene is priceless to me.
But…one is animated & the other is live action. Couldn't you tell it was wrong as the credits rolled?
Okay I was only giggling until dude went OFF on daddy! "Dont you dare tell us…. you aint do SHYT!"
Okay I might have changed the script a little bit, but funny.
I died when dad asked "Mr. Zombie are you okay?"
That zombie vid got me weak. A zombie us chasing you, but you have the foresight to take off your shoes in the house? And that little boy got on the reporter for not doing shyt? iDied!
I would have been the little kids clapping gleefully and consuming popcorn. There is actually a home video of me, I can't be more than 7, transfixed on some horror movie.
Polka dot, polka dot, polka dot, AFRO!!!!
Mook would think its funny, point to the screen, and say "Thats not real Mommy!"
Now I wanna get Madagascar 3 on DVD…I loveded that movie!
i want to see the security cam footage of the kids running out of there…I would have died watch that…po babies lol. Hopefully watching the movie made it better. The mom they interviewed was tripping…as if mistakes don't happen, you're kid will get over it

Those poor babies, but the visuals of a bunch of screaming children running from the theater have me LOL!
It's stuff like this why God never made me a mother. I would probably psychologically scar my kiddies FOR LIFE!
I'm the one whose baby sitter thought it would be a good idea to let the four year old watch Nightmare on Elm Street 3. Yea….I feel those babies' pain.
