‘Rocky Horror’ keeps
fans dancing in aisles
Talking back to a movie screen, dressing up as a
trans sexual alien, dancing to the instructions and di
agrams of a criminologist — does any of this seem
strange?
Well it should, even if you're familiar with it. Strange is
not an adjective that Rocky Horror cultists, fans and fanat
ics would disdain.
Now celebrating its 15th anniversary. The Rocky Horror
Picture Show has enjoyed popularity as a late night feature
in theaters across the country
Many filmgoers — some seeing the show for the ump
teenth time — will engage in a sort of audience participa
lion with the film that includes dressing up as characters
from the movie or acting out scenes in the aisles
Other audience antics include talking back to the char
acters and giving advice, holding newspapers overhead
while shooting water through squirt guns into the air,
throwing props across the theater, and, of course, dancing
to such memorable classics of rock'n'roll as "The Time
Warp."
This film is a science fiction musical spoof that lam
poons traditional social values. The hedonistic values of
the main characters are also presented lightly throughout
the picture, although the movie is obviously designed to
shock the more conservative-minded viewers.
The 14 musical numbers, performed by the like of Tim
Curry and Meatloaf, carry the film and account for much of
its popularity. The music is witty and integrates well with
the rest of the film, besides being great rock'n’roll.
Rocky Horror has traditionally drawn large crowds, espe
cially around Halloween, and it is certainly worth experi
encing at least once; but be careful, it can be addictive.
Rocky Horror is playing at the Bijou Arts Cinemas at
midnight on Halloween.
