The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a cult classic musical-movie that spoofs old sci-fi and horror flicks, wich a ridiculous plotline and hilariously campy cast of characters. It’s unbridled fun to watch, and even more fun to experience at a public screening. As the movie was not a great success when it released in 1975, it gathered a cult following, and many fans began to dress as their favourite characters from the film, shout callbacks at the screen, and bring their own props to interact with one another during the movie! The RHPS still has a huge following, with midnight screenings all over the world annually.
It is NORMAL and EXPECTED that audience members yell at the screen during the movie, shout things like ‘slut’ and ‘asshole’ at Brad and Janet, and more wonderfullly silly and profane things. We want everyone to have a great time, so if these sorts of interruptions and outbursts trigger or bother you, you may want to reconsider attending the event.
