What on earth does ''Shock theater classic movie' mean. I've never heard the term and it doesn't makes sense even though I'm 36 and have been able to read at an adult level since I was 11. Unlike adults today. Most can only read at the level of a 9 year old, thats in the UK anyway. I dread to think what it is in America
"Shock Theater" is an American term that refers to old-school horror films (black and white films) like Dracula and Frankenstein. I'm not sure why you brought up reading levels though.
