The Rialto Theater in Pasadena, CA had a midnight showing for years. Back in the Dark Ages of the early 80's when I was in high school they'd do a Double Creature Feature before the show. Classics like Plan Nine from Outer Space, Robot Monster, all the classics from campy Sci-Fi; in an honest to god single screen classic movie theater. A night out (that you'll never forget) that only cost about three bucks, got to love it.

Fun factoid: According to Tim Curry, at some point he was presented to Prince Charles and Princess Diana (when they were still together, obviously). Charles politely suggested he might have seen Curry in "something or other on TV". Diana quietly told him that she had seen Rocky Horror Picture Show, "and it _quite_ completed my education."

Rocky carrying Dr. Frank up the tower was a spoof of the original King Kong. Another little tidbit you missed was that Magenta and Riff Raft were brother and sister. The whole thing was a parody of classic horror and sci fi b grade movies from the 50's and 60's. It was also about being free to be what you were rather than what everyone wanted you to be. Yes, now that you have seen the movie on the little screen, you really need to see it on the big screen with audience participation. It is also the longest running movie ever, even though the critics didn't give it good reviews. People go to see it dressed as their favorite characters which means some had to show up in a rain coat or trench coat, at least until they got inside the theater.

I even remember including the spare in the tire rotation.

Your reaction may be the best and most accurate review of Rocky Horror I've ever seen. It is it's own living, breathing thing. I don't think it's surprising it became this big interactive midnight movie experience because it was originally a play and it was made into a movie based on the strength of its live experience. If you do see it live, I think you'll have a blast! (Oh, and the actor who played Riff Raff wrote the musical and movie.)

BTW, at the wedding, Tim is the reverend, riff and magenta are the church care takers dressed as the American Gothic painting which appears in the castle and Columbia as in the record company is the church caretakers daughter. More inside reference than you noticed. The more you watch, the more you notice.

"Why do I find Tim Curry so _hot?"_ And here comes Tim Curry, latest addition to the "Future-Ex-Husband Club." "Monday will be the _original_ It." -And there he goes. Yeah...With Rocky Horror...it's really less of a movie, and more of an _experience._ It's one of those phenomenons where you walk away from something fundamentally changed by what you witnessed. Even to this day, I still can't wrap my head around it...It's definitely a fun-time, no doubt, but I feel like the plot falls apart in the third act. And because of my analytical mind, I keep trying to look beneath the fun and see the underlying _meaning_ behind the movie, when the scthik is, there _is no_ real meaning behind it. Some consider it a commentary making fun of traditional conservative values when faced with unusual sexual behavior. Others consider it to be a chaotic representation of the changing scope of music in the 80s - with Eddie representing the old style of Rock n Roll that is literally killed by Frankenfurter who is the avatar of "Glam-Rock." And all of it mixed together with an odd taste for the classic horror movies of yore. What does it all mean? Does it really _mean_ anything at all? Does anything truly have any real meaning? _...Meaning~_ 'course if there is only one reason to see this movie...it's the _music._

Ashleigh: "Now how do I know this song? We play it every year.... on Halloween." Also Ashleigh: "I didn't realize there was a whole dance to this song." How... The instructions are literally in the song. Don't ever change, sweet child. 😊

Tim Curry deserves all the love he gets for this, but I have to give props to my homegirl Patricia Quinn. Even if the accent slips through once or twice, she still gets the Bride of Frankenstein hair at the end, and there's nothing cooler than that.

That was literally the best review of Rocky Horror I've ever seen. Well said. It is it's own category.

An homage to 50's and 60's horror and sci-fi movies, par excellence. The references in the title song alone are so... memorable. Fun fact "Forbidden Planet" - the movie Anne Francis stars in... it also features, as the hero and romantic counterpart of Anne, an actor that should by now be very well known to you, Ashleigh: a young and very handsome Leslie Nielsen.

It is a good thing you filled the reaction first in the studio because filming live would have been way too hard since audience participation can get crazy. It is now a tradition in my family to go see a live play or a showing of the movie with actors alongside and audience participation. This year we are also dressing up and I'm so excited!

I look forward to your update after you see it live. There is so much more to love. I have probably seen it 50 times during my high school days. A theater near me showed it every Saturday at midnight. Oh those fun carefree days of youth.

I agree with everyone else. A live performance is great after your first viewing. You'll be able to sing and play along. It's such a fucking blast. Get yourself a corset and a piece of toast.

I loved Superheroes on the soundtrack, that I had since I was 14 or 15. But never saw a print of the movie with it, so I assumed it had been cut from the final release print. (This was the 80s, so one couldn't look up this info online.) It was that way for years until I went to a midnight screening in the 90s and was amazed when they played it. I think I cheered out loud!

this may be your best reaction video so far you had me laughing all the way through it, keep them coming Ashleigh you're awesome

Riff Raff was played by Richard O'Brien, he wrote the show and sang the opening song He was in the 80's Flash Gordon movie, he hosted a British competition game show called Crystal Maze ( it was a grown up version of Legends of the hidden temple ) He was in the not great D&D movie as the thieves guild master with a maze, a reference to the old game show. He used to host music sing alongs at the castle used for the exterior shots

"Tim Curry's the only one wearing a pearl necklace" had me rolling on the floor!

You saying you want to see it in the theater just made me imagine your husband there with you and that thought literally made my day. I'd love to see his reaction because he is HILARIOUS!

This movie is pretty special to me, because when I was a teenager I used to play Janet in the 'shadow cast' at the midnight movie on Saturdays. It was just a super fun time with friends, and it makes me nostalgic for the 80s. ❤

Yes. Now you've got to see it with audience partici... ... pation! Senior prom: I told my girl friend I didn't really want to go to prom, and suggested The Rocky Horror Picture Show instead. I still got the tux, got the corsage. She wore her formal. But we ditched the prom for a midnight showing of TRHPS. I hid a bottle of champagne and a couple of glasses under the seat of the car. We arrived, popped the champagne, filled our glasses and joined the line waiting for the box to open in our formal wear. The crowd applauded... :D

"I think I'm slightly obsessed with Susan." And not one mention of her cheekbones... Best. Leo.

“Why do I find Tim Curry so hot?” Honey, get in line! LOL

I love "Time Warp" and "Sweet Transvestite". They're such fantastic songs. Also young Tim Curry is a hottie. He his just pure charisma surrounded by fantastic acting.

Great review. Such an iconic movie. Every frame is iconic. Must have seen it hundreds of times.

I saw this for the first time in 1989. I was in the military. After that first time viewing, I didn't get to see it again until 1992, and that was in japan. They had a stage but no Emcee or Stage Show to go with it. Me and my friends got up and performed for them, and I was in a wrist cast from an injury. It was a blast. And the audience did participate, they just hadn't realized a stage show goes with it, lol. Rocky Horror IS it's own category.

Excellent review!!

I can't blame you for wanting to do more research before diving into the audience participation thing.

The audience participation adds a whole other layer to it. First of all it's like one big party. And then you have the things that audience members traditionally shout out which adds even more to how you see the movie. My personal favorite line is when Riff Raff is in his final alien look and sings "prepare the transmit beam" and the audience shouts "Where'd you get your hair done. Dairy Queen?" If you have the Blu-ray there is an audience participation track that has a lot of traditional audience lines shouted out.

One thing to remember is that the audience participation started spontaneously. Richard was absolutely surprised (and delighted) that kids were going to midnight movies and acting out the parts.
