Question: In the movie, Robert meets a theatre owner and he shows his basement. Why did he get scared and run out?
Answer:I always thought that Robert thought that the theatre guy was the Zodiac Killer, and he kept on hearing noises coming from upstairs, which also made him run out.
Answer:It was theorized that the Zodiac Killer had a basement, and not many people in California have basements. Robert's paranoia was just getting the better of him.
