I went to see a midnight showing back in the late 70s. No one told me I'd walk out of the theater drenched in rice and water. Talk about a freak show, it was!

Did you remember to bring your toast?

That movie was extremely popular back in the 70’s and 80’s.
It wasn’t something I was running out to see, but to each his own for a fun time.

However, jury is still out on whether this movie or this kind of movie would be embraced by the young (under 35) people of today. There may be some dated references or parodies that the kids aren’t familiar with, but some of the jokes are likely to be timeless, if that kind of theater is your style.

LoL. I was dating a girl who wanted to go to one of those midnight showings. We had heard they were rowdy before we went, but it exceeded our expectations.

I think it’s hilarious. A Halloween tradition here.

It’s astounding.
Time is fleeting.
Madness takes its toll.

I was never into the cult aspects of the film, but Tim Curry has a great voice and is a good actor (as well as being a normal man). Plus you got to see Susan Sarandon’s hooters before they became 38 extra long.

There was a theater in my hometown which would play this every Friday night. LATE showing, walking distance from home.

I only went once and, yeah, I was loaded (I was 17 iirc).

I don’t remember a lick of the flick. Not a frame.

I do recall people down in front wearing garbage bags and still don’t get why. Never went back.

Don’t care.

In 1978, I was in London for a week. There was a live Rocky Horror playing. The live band was great, and yes, there was plenty of toast and, of course, “he’s got no neck!”

At the end of the show, hundreds of 8x11 papers fell from the ceiling. On the page was the “steps” to The Time Warp Dance. I probably still have it in the garage somewhere.

I’ve seen it many, many times and own the DVD, great music and a lot of fun.

I went to see Rocky Horror with some friends in San Jose as a kid in high school in 1979. Hilarious both on-screen and off, with people throwing toast and rice at the screen.

I was a low down cheap little punk back when this movie came out and went to several dozen showings in our small town.

Today I’m embarrassed of things i use to like and embrace. After my mom died all i wanted was rock and roll, porn and a motor bike.

I’m kind of a noob to Rocky Horror. I’ve only seen it about 40 times.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show has escaped the “Theatre of the Absurd” and become reality ... I saw it at the cinema, back in the day. Now I see it walking the aisles of Wal*Mart.
