The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a movie that is near and dear to my heart. Everything about it makes me happy, from the music to the aesthetics. Originally released in 1975, the movie has involved into a significant cult film. What makes Rocky Horror stand out in cinema history is that it refined the midnight movie, in which the audience participates and even acts out the movie along with the screen.
Here is some video footage from 1981 documenting the festivities of a Rocky showing:
Later in October, I will be attending a showing of the movie. This will be the second time this caliber of a Rocky Horror presentation has been done in my hometown. Needless to say, I'm extremely excited.
Typically, audience members arrive to the theater dressed in costume, as shown in the video. I plan to do the same, though I'm not quite sure what my costume will consist of. Stay tuned...
