Fans of The Rocky Horror Picture Show dress up like their favorite characters from the movie.
Part ot the excitement is the
interaction," Zmgo said It be
came a cult thing because the
movie is so bad
Because it is live theater, and
it's dangerous and rude to throw
things at the actors, the theater
has issued a list ol acceptable
items These aie squirt guns (not
high powered), flashlights, news
papers, noisemakers. balloons,
playing cards, pink rubber gloves
and toilet paper Anything else,
including alcohol, will be confis
cated
Originally, the movie version
ol The Rocky Horror Picture
Show was not intended to be
such a Iree tor-all In lact, it
started out as a reasonably re
spectable play written by Rich
ard O'Brien According to the
booklet that accompanies The
Rocky Horror Picture Show 1Sth
Anniversary Collection the play
was based on a combination of
horror movies, Steve Reeves
muscle flicks and fifties rock n'
roll"
The collection was put out in
1989 and includes The Rocky
Horror Picture Show Sound
Track. The Roxy Cast Sound
Track and the International
Rdcky Horror Soundtrack, a col
lection ot songs that have noth
mg to do with the film, but are
are sung by some of the aclors
The original play ran success
fully for many months at The
Royal Court Theater Upstairs in
London after its opening on June
16. 1973 The cast contained ac
tor Tim Curry as Frank N Furter,
Richard O'Brien as Riff Raff, Pa
tncia Quinn as Magenta, Little
Nell as Columbia and Jonathon
Adams as the Criminologist
These cast members re
turned for the movie, pined by
then-unknowns Susan Sarandon
and Barry Bostwick in the roles
of Brad and Janet Rock singer
Moatloaf played the Rock N
Rollin' Lobotomy Biker Jon
athon Adams switched roles to
play Doctor Scott
Initially the film bombed ex
cept in Los Angeles where a
small dedicated audience was
returning for repeated viewings
The film was then re introduced
as a midnight movie But even
before becoming a late night
event, audience members were
singing along with the movie and
yelling comebacks at the screen
Thus began the ritual that still
follows The Rocky Horror Picture
Show
The Bipu Theater in Eugene
ran the movie for many years but
discontinued it
