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!

[Bartholomew Roberts]

Did you remember to bring your toast?

[lee martell]

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.

[Yogafist]

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.

[Army Air Corps]

It’s just a jump to the left...

[rdcbn1]

Naaa, I brought the squirt gun.

I’m old enough to remember when Rocky Horror Picture Show was weird and outrageous

Now the grocery clerk bagging fruits and vegetables at my local supermart dresses and acts that way and sports a multi colored hairdo featuring color tones never seen in nature accented by tats and body jewelry that would put a 1960s National Geographic’s African tribesman or Amazon head hunter photo spread to shame

I didn’t get it then.
I still don’t get it now.

a freak show if you ask me...

[sjmjax]

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

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

Rocky Horror Picture Show PING

[Tijeras_Slim]

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.

[Chani]

I loved the songs, music and energy! lol

[Macho MAGA Man]

(It’s just a jump to the left...)

The actor who said that in the movie also played James Bond nemesis Ernst Stavro Blofeld in Diamonds are Forever.

[dfwgator]

I don’t think I ever watched it sober.

[Army Air Corps]

That’s a different flick.

[Army Air Corps]

You are correct, sir!
He was also in You Only Live Twice.

[Political Junkie Too]

Three years later, she made Pretty Baby.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Yeah, I’d question whether young’uns would react favorably to a remake. No idea, really.

[dfwgator]

Plus you got to see Susan Sarandon’s hooters before they became 38 extra long.

And before she became a terrorist....

Durka durka durka...
