damaging super8film while projecting to create crazy effects

Hi,
has anyone heard about a process where you damage/destroy super8 film while projecting to create crazy effects ?
I once heard from a friend about a girl who projected a super 8 film in an art gallery. Every time the main actor appeared, she scratched the film with a screwdriver and the film stopped on one frame, started burning, and then continued playing.
I'm really interested in hearing from anyone who has tried this themselves or anyone who has any similar stories as im keen to try it out myself but i dont really want to damage my super 8 projector.
cheers,
/dan
 
Not while projecting I haven't, but yeah sure, you can do whatever you want to it. I used to do it. I took a Dremel tool to it and hand painted some frames. We used to call it "scratch film".
