“How many times have you seen Jaws?”
an American classic ambushed moviegoers. In its wake, 14-year-old Vince Sculli earned a nickname that briefly vaulted him into Wildwoods celebrity.Sculli grew up in Yeadon in Delaware County, but spent his summers down the Shore. And he’d spent many days catching disaster flicks at one of the six, mostly single-screen Wildwood movie theaters run by the local Hunt’s chain.
He went back the next day, armed with $5 from his mother that covered the tickets, soda, popcorn, and a slice of Mack’s pizza on the walk home. He caught all three showings in his preferred first-row perch in the 600-seat theater.Merlin W. Paul, the chain’s manager and publicist, smelled opportunity. He arranged for a reporter from the Wildwood Leader newspaper to interview Sculli during an afternoon showing.
There was no internet. Not even a VCR. And the television set only showed three Philly channels , and two New York channels . And storms would typically knock out the signal.
