Put on your favorite corset, fishnets and red lipstick and get ready to live it up like Dr. Frank-N-Furter, Brad and Janet because “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” is celebrating its 35th anniversary with a tribute and costume ball.

The special one night event is taking place just in time for Halloween, Oct. 28 at The Wiltern in Los Angeles.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show Tribute’s cast features Jack Nicholson, Danny DeVito, Billy Idol, Jason Segal, and Lea Michele and Matthew Morrison of “Glee” fame. Additional actors and singers will be announced soon.

The tribute will combine scenes from the 1975 cult classic film with select live musical performances.

Kenny Ortega, who directed Michael Jackson’s “This Is It” tour and the “High School Musical” series in addition to choreographing “Dirty Dancing,” has been snagged as the director.

Record producer/manager/director Lou Adler, who was one of the original producers of the film, is producing the tribute along with Kevin Duncan.

“It is going to be a night out to remember for a very long time,” Adler said.

Tickets are on sale starting today. General admission tickets are priced between $50 and $100. VIP tickets and packages including the post party Costume Ball are also available.

Proceeds from the event benefit The Painted Turtle, which was co-founded by Adler’s wife Page Hannah and Paul Newman as one of Newman’s Hole in the Wall Gang Camps.

The Painted Turtle provides a year-round camp and hospital outreach programs to California children suffering from chronic and life-threatening illnesses.

Tim curry was the bad guy on last nights ‘Criminal Minds’. Let’s just say he has not been doing the ‘time warp’ and either he had spectaularly good ‘bad teeth’ makeup or he has been chewing tobacco for the last three decades without access to a toothbrush

Tim Curry appears to have nice teeth; everything about that guy he played last night was just horrifying. 0.o

It’s the only movie I ever went to 20 times. Now I don’t think I want my kids to see it. They would be especially horrified to learn that I know all the dialogue and lyrics.
