Alien... oh yeah. That’s a screamer.

Alas, how about Carrie, the 1976 flick?

Yes, “Carrie”, as well; although can't remember when/where that was seen. Do remember seeing “Alien” in an indoor, non
descript theater-plex the first time. Audience felt the movie
was over when Ripley entered the escape pod; they began to leave. Thinking, “that can't be all”, just sat watching, waiting for the unexpected. When the female creature begins to
unfold and show herself, those remaining in the theater immediately found a vacant seat to watch the conclusion of the
film. The scene startled everyone. Very unexpected, it ain't
over yet. Same scene at the drive in; cars began to start, some exiting; others sitting in the long line of traffic with the windows down, waiting. As the scene began, it all stopped ending with a climax of horns, screams and whoops. The audience certainly got their monies' worth.
