Wood and his entourage arrive very late for the premiere, so the movie audience gets so angry and rowdy waiting for them that they start throwing things, threatening the theater owner, etc. This wasn't an uncommon thing for theater and movie audiences decades ago; vaudeville audiences, for example, would deliberately bring rotten fruit to the theater just to throw at acts they didn't like. In this case, they weren't going wild over the movie itself, but over the fact that they were kept waiting. When Jean Renoir's film The Rules of the Game first premiered in France in 1939, movie audiences were so
angered by it that fights and riots broke out in theaters where it was shown. So Wood had something in common with his fellow filmmaker Renoir.
Vampira may not have liked those people, but she wasn't going to pass up a movie premiere; it was probably the closest she would ever get to something that passed for Hollywood glamour. I'm sure there were plenty of people who loathed Harvey Weinstein, too, but they still fawned over him at Hollywood events. That's why they're called showbiz phonies.
