Mike Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 The most interactive film of all-time, the longest running film of all-time. This 1975 film, famous for it's midnight showings, cult followings, and interactive audiences is very unique. Has anyone attended this at a mid-night showing? I understand a cinema in Munich has runs this regularly every weekend since 1975. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clara Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 I've never been to a screening, but I did see a theatre production of it just last weekend. It was so much fun. I think seeing it live is a bit different from seeing the movie in a cinema though, as far as interaction is concerned. There's less interaction seeing it in a theatre, where the expectation is more to sit and watch, although we did do the Time Warp at the end. They do the midnight screening on a regular basis here in Sydney as well, so I'll have to put that on my 'to do' list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foolonthehill Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 never gotten around to seeing it at midnight, but it's one of my favourite movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Has anyone attended this at a mid-night showing? I understand a cinema in Munich has runs this regularly every weekend since 1975. When I lived in Buenos Aires (we were teens) my friends and I used to go every weekend, at midnight, to watch "Woodstock" and "Monterrey Pop". We did it for a couple of years, I think I should know both movies by heart... I saw "The Rocky Horror Show" live in the early seventies, in Spain, my boyfriend played with the band every night. So I was there, backstage, for a couple of weeks too. I never saw the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonJonSurfer Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 While at Rutgers I saw The Rocky Horror Picture Show many times at the midnight show. It played at The Arts Cinema in New Brunswick. Another long playing favorite there was Pink Flamingos. I even went to see RHPS on New Year's Eve once, before we went out. It was weird because the place was empty and it was the first time I heard all the words clearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 I saw a midnight screening of it and it wasn't nearly as weird or off-the-wall as I expected it to be. Still pretty fun though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lea Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 That is such a cool movie Haven't seen it in years and never in the theater never had the opportunity. I would go in a heartbeat tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katie_sane Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I am going to see The Rocky Horror Picture on stage at the Lyric Theatre at Star City Casino in Sydney in two weeks! Can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clara Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 That's where I saw it katie_sane! The production with Iota and Paul Capsis etc. Iota did a great Frankie and Kelly Rode as Janet was perfect, but Sharon Millerchip as Columbia stole the show. She was brilliant! But I'm biased. Columbia is my favourite character. It was a great show. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Jane 61 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 The first time I saw Rocky Horror was at a midnight showing my first year in college. I was hooked and saw it many times after that, and always midnight showings. That was in Columbus and I'm not sure if the theatre still has the midnight showings. I remember the first time I saw it, when I got home I was shaking rice out of my bra and hair, but didn't care! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 It's still performed here every year at the TLA-Theater of the Living Arts. I've never gone to the live show. Seen the movie a hundred times. I rate it as one of the top 3 movie musicals of all time along with Jesus Christ: Superstar and Singing In The Rain.

Epiphany Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 (edited) In my city, it's held like every third Saturday. I went with my friends when I was a senior in high school and like all every audience member was dressed up for it. Me and one of my friends dressed up like men dressing like women, and my guy friend just wore gold glittery underwear. It was great!

Carl Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Rocky Horror plays better in some cities than in others. When I lived in Syracuse, it got the full midnight show, "freaks come out at night" treatment. Here in CT, the few productions are just lame. Someday I'll roadtrip somewhere just for a good Rocky Horror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 I'm told that the Philly show is great...lots of interaction. I've never been one for "dress-up" so I don't go. I own the DVD and watch it at least once a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
