I wonder if the "Rocky Horror Picture Show" might have been influenced by that! (not that MST3K ever did *that* film, but it just *might* have been possible ;-)).

I believe "Monster a Go-Go" might be another in the Framing hall of fame, given that, we find out AT THE END OF THE FILM, that there was, in fact, no film! Like a switch has been flipped, the lights come up in the auditorium, and the audience leaves, alive, and of normal size.
