Back in 1977, boyfriend and I were out on a warm sunny afternoon and decided to take in a film. The local movie theater didn't have much really to offer, but boyfriend decided he really wanted to see this cheesy-looking monster movie we'd never heard of showing on the marquee: "The Rocky Horror Picture Show". We argued a little (I wasn't into it), but he won and we went in. This was the days before large seating theaters were chopped up into multiplexes, so it was a huge auditorium. In spite of that, we were only 1 of 5 couples that were there for the showing. Well, it was the middle of the afternoon on a Wednesday or Thursday in a suburban neighborhood, so 5 couples is actually pretty good. The Theater goes dim, the giant lips shows up singing the opening song... WTF? I look at boyfriend, he looks at me, and we realize we hit paradise!!! The whole rest of the film we are rocking in our seats and singing along as best we can! During the Time Warp dance, 2 of the couples just get up and hurry out, wide-eyed. Meanwhile me and boyfriend are just having a great time! When the film ends, we stay seated, to glean everything we can from the credits and to listen to the music to the very end. The last 2 couples walk out slowly, shocked faces, looking like 'what the hell was THAT!' We leave, go straight to a record store, and buy the soundtrack, which we nearly wear out with constant play. About a year later, passing through Georgetown in Washington, DC with a new boyfriend, I see the little art film theater has a late showing of "Rocky Horror", so talk him into going. We have dinner, do some windowshopping, then go to get in line for the showing. And THAT is when I first experience the Audience Participation in a tiny theater, a phenomenon I had never known existed. People in line were in costume as the film characters. The film starts and there's callbacks, rice thrown, water-spritzing, newspaper on heads, hotdogs thrown, toilet paper rolls thrown, cigarette lighters lit. During the Time Warp, there was a line across the lip of the stage joining in and encouraging people to dance in the aisles. It couldn't have been more than a hundred people, but it was a packed house and INTENSE! And crazy fun! So these are my introductions to this film, as a phase 1 and a phase 2.

[@LatetotheParty]

Thanks so much for sharing your history with The Rocky Horror Picture Show! Such a vivid recollection which makes us even more hyped to experience it ourselves for the first time tomorrow night!!!

[@robertmartin9029]

I used to go see Rocky Horror every weekend or two at what was probably that same theater in Georgetown back around 1989/1990. The audience participation was what made the movie so great that my friends and I wanted to go back and see it again and again. I probably went at least 2 or 3 dozen times before I got a different job and couldn't go on the weekends.

[@ChirumboloFilm]

I was in a Rocky Horror shadow cast for quite a few years and “retired” 6 or 7 years ago. I’ve tried to watch it a couple of times since then, but without the audience experience it feels like it’s lacking something, at least for me. I hope you had fun at your first RHPC live experience!

[@angelaatwood46]

I discovered Rocky Horror in high school! A friend of mine played Janet, and I knew her for a little while, beautiful, black eyes and blonde hair, when I was 14 I think and went on HALLOWEEN for Christs sake for the first time!, believe me, because it WAS this holiday night, I saw people dressed up that I have NEVER seen before, a little ahead in line was a man in pantyhose and a g string, all kinds of men and women drastically dressed up for a great Halloween Event! And it was. Crammed inside, people played their roles in front and the sides of the theater. I could FEEL Frankenfurters energy as he swept down the middle of the aisle like nobody's business! Put a gay man in a Frankenfurter costume on Halloween and swing him down the aisle to the front and you will see someone who MEANS business! The rice, dancing, everything was there, so I kept going back on the weekends to continue to see it. They always used the very back theater at midnight when it started. I could always go as long as I came back from the movie when it was over, I guess they didn't want me too exposed to the cast or out past two.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I'm Gen X 😘

[@nikwalters1029]

​@@ChirumboloFilm Totally agree. I can't watch the movie without saying the callbacks lol.

[@ravenlord7144]

My mother (RIP) was a product of a 1950s upbringing, conservative, modest, and rather naive in a lot of ways. I convinced her to watch this movie because "Mom, it's a musical," and she loved musicals. She also really liked Tim Curry from other films. I honestly wasn't sure how she would feel about Rocky Horror, and I'm happy I convinced her to see it. Rocky Horror totally shocked her, of course! She also enjoyed it so much that when they put on the live show in our town, she eagerly went with me to see it (a play with local actors who did a fantastic job).

[@LatetotheParty]

I used to play Columbia at our local midnight showings back in the early 80s. My mom finally went so I was so happy to be able to yell, "My mother is a virgin!" at it as our custom was to announce who first time attendees were before the show started. The guy who played Frankie got a hoot from her because she was asking him how he got his costume together and he was proudly bragging on his girlfriend who had done his costuming and make-up. The cast decided I had the coolest mom. Miss her but love that one of my favorite memories was of her going with me just to see what the fuss was and she had a blast. I was 16 at the time and so grateful my parents let me have enough freedom to do that.

[@angelaatwood46]

You are so lucky. Gorgeous dahling! I lost my movie virginity on Halloween night I think when I was 14. I had never seen the kind of people who were in line and couldn't believe the performance either!!😍 My friend who got me there played Janet, and her boyfriend played Rocky. 1987!

A little fact I love spreading: Patricia Quinn (Majenta) recently gave an interview for Doctor Who The Collection in her mansion, next to a poster of - as well as a big cushion with a print of - her own lips (from the intro).

You wondered about the theater cues... every freakin' thing was a cue from beginning to end. I saw the movie in the theater hundreds of times starting in 1976 (I was 15). When I was 17, I ran into my mom there. Apparently, it was not her first time, either. (My hilarious mom!) It wasn't until it was on TV many, many years later in 1993 that I actually _heard_ the movie for the first time. I was shocked at all I'd missed, but had hollered/danced to for all those years. Watching it without an audience was disconcerting so I yelled everything and it took every ounce of restraint not to throw rice, toss hot dogs, use a squirt gun, light the lighter... but I did dance. Thank you for this! Fantastic memories. You both were fantastic!

[@ThefetchNZ]

The official audience participation album is essential. After all these years watching this movie it’s always in the background.

I found the West End live show to be useful to learn callbacks. It was broadcast on the BBC about 7 or 8 years ago and is on KZbin. It's awesome to see the stage actors, interacting with the crowd, and the Narrator was played by several people, including Stephen Fry and Anthony Head.

[@RavenTheTrickster]

At the beginning of the pandemic, 7 housemates from RI (all of them are part of a Rocky Horror group), decided to do a performance as a fundraiser. They acted out the entire movie and it was filmed in one long shot. They all took turns acting as the narrator and had to occasionally use one of their cats as a stand-in. It was amazing! Random fact! Riff Raff’s actor, Richard O’Brien, was the dad in Phineas and Ferb. In one episode, his character criticized a horror movie, wondering where all the rock and roll musical numbers were.

[@JanMike9]

I attended many a RH midnight showing at the Avon in Providence. RI always possessed a weirdness and creative streak due to so many artists and musicians in the mix of the population. Those days were so much fun, with Lupo's The Livingroom, The Met Cafe, The Leroy, Vet's Memorial, etc.

Richard O'Brien (Riff Raff) is the writer and creator of the musical the movie is based on. And since this movies release 48 years ago, he has gotten to live off the residuals each showing. Because it is the longest running film of all time, playing all over the planet since it's original release.

Richard O'Brien was such a part of my childhood from hosting the game show The Crystal Maze over here in the UK, which I loved and wanted to participate in.

But I also love letting ppl know about how my pastor dad introduced me to RHPS. It was a moment of him admitting that I was grown up and introducing something he thought was a necessity to see...but could not stand the idea of watching something "mature" with me.

Went to see the original cast performance a month after it opened in 73. It had transferred to a condemned cinema in the Kings Road, Chelsea by then; which was covered inside by scaffolding and sack cloth awaiting demolition. Great atmosphere. The actors playing Frank, Riff Raff, Magenta and Columbia in the movie were in the original stage show, and Dr Scott in the movie was the original Narrator. The only real props then were a tin tray for thunder, a torch for the light, the wheelchair, and the end of a garden fork painted silver as the weapon. The tin tray was accidentally dropped off stage early in the run, but then became part of the show. Apart from the 'f**k off!' there were no audience responses at that time. So lucky enough to have seen it in its original guise.

@@LatetotheParty The closest musical to it is probably Little Shop of Horrors. By the way, the European cut is the same at the US version you saw, except you get almost an entire extra song at the very end as Brad and Janet are escaping the house, they sing the song ‘Superheroes’. In the US version, we only hear the very end of the song as the house is lifting off. Also, Barry Bostwick did record one song cut from the movie and the soundtrack, ‘Once in a While’, and it’s a great song too! I’m sure it’s on KZbin. There is a musical sequel to this, songs just as great as these, but it’s hurt by the fact that Brad and Janet are played by different actors. It’s called Shock Treatment.

Midnight movies at Balboa Theater every Saturday. I had a friend who's family had a pizza shop.... We would go to the shop & make pizzas for the movie. This was 1978 - 1981!!!!! Great memories! 0:00

Last month Barry Bostwick was a guest at a convention that was happening in my town. While I didn't get to go to the Saturday night RHPS screening he was there for, he had a booth set up during the convention I was able to go to and chat with him for a bit. He was a super cool guy to talk to, and we even talked about the effects of this movie tight-casting him a bit for similar roles afterwards. Though, he did appear in a Cold Case RHPS themed episode where he played the serial killer and he said that he really enjoyed filming that episode. I got a photo with him at the end of it so it was really cool to get to meet someone who plays an iconic character in an iconic movie.

Also the follow up is called Shock Treatment a lesser known movie.

I first saw this in high school, and every time I watch it, I appreciate it more. My fiancé watched it for the first time last year, and he loved it. I’m excited for you guys to go to a screening! And glad you finally watched the movie too!

[@RobynMarieBZ]

Oh and I forgot to mention, back when I was an aspiring actor, I auditioned for a stage version of the show in LA. I was in way over my head and didn’t get a part, but it was an awesome experience.

[@JulieAiken]

I saw it in a movie theatre in New York City -- the original experience (though a year or so after it debuted). I loved it from the first note... or actually from way before that, as I encountered all the costumed audience members before the movie began. The props, the costumes, the shouting of random hysterical lines. It was something else! I've also directed the original stage version several times. I have never had a negative Rocky Horror experience. Ironically for something so wild and "subversive", it has always been light-hearted and just plain fun! Great reaction, thanks.

[@scrappytracy5557]

This was one of my favorite movies throughout my teenage years and into early college.

[@lynchie2073]

the man who played riffraff also wrote the original stage show! he played riffraff for a really long time, holding the record for 2300 shows as the character, and is also the dad from phineas and ferb!

[@saffronshearer4263]

No, R O' B originated the role, but that record is held by the modern actor Kristian Lavercombe who has been playing Riff Raff in the current UK Rocky Horror tour. He has only just given up the role in the past few months with the new cast change (which has Jason Donovan as Frank)

[@coasterguy]

The house in question is now a hotel in Windsor. Lots of people have Rocky Horror themed weddings there. Interestingly, Brand and Janet approach it from the back, but end up at the front door.

[@otisroseboro5613]

Great Reaction Guy's To This All Time Favorite Classic Movie 😊

[@kenpatton8761]

Those ruby red lips are Patricia Quinn‘s. She was lip singing the song. She also played Magenta in the film. Richard O’Brien (Riff Raff) is the one actually singing. Cheers

[@redakroma1]

This movie was WAY ahead of it's time. It was made to shock, awe, and gently mock SciFi and Musicals at the time. It was so fun, even Straits like me couldn't help but enjoy it.

[@r21174]

we had a similar theatre that did RHPS with dress up too. But it was shut down after being active for over 15 years..

[@scapevelocity]

I first saw it in the late 70s. A friend dragged a few of us to a midnight showing, the first of many. And when I found myself working in London in 1980, I discovered that the stage show was still running. Saw it six times over the months before it closed, and then saw a revival years later on another visit. I love the movie, but I have to say the play is even funnier.

[@BrianSmith-kv3px]

The Loft is my favorite theater in the state. Their lineups have always been awesome, and they carry the Art House Theatre torch well after the Valley Art threw it away years ago. Can't wait to become a member again (just moved back.)

[@LatetotheParty]

We're there almost every Monday night for "Mondo Monday" so if you see us, say hello!

[@pillmuncher67]

I first saw this on German late night TV in 1984 with my then girlfriend. We were both 16yo Punk kids and after the movie was over we boinked the whole night.

[@russrollins9978]

An interesting Tim Curry role can be seen in Legend (1985), starring a very young Tom Cruise. I haven't seen anyone do a reaction for it, but I liked it.

[@rodneymackay2804]

OMG, I'll not be able to watch this till later, but I can't wait. There's many films and TV shows that I love and know very will, but this is the one that I know every line and song. Hope you enjoy it.

[@rhwinner]

I was lucky enough to be in HS when this was playing at midnight at theaters every weekend. Great times!

[@soundofnellody262]

I love this movie since I saw it for the first time (in the 80s). They are all incredible, great voices, catchy music, this movie is just fun fun fun. They must have a lot of fun during filming.

[@jaydock1]

I've seen this movie close to 50 times and your reaction helped me actually understand the plot fully for the first time - I never understood the floor show part but when you said "he's like a puppet master playing for himself" and they were under his spell, idk I finally get it now haha I feel kind of dumb but thank you for that

[@grump9001]

You got me with that "So it's not just a clever name" 😆 any reference to wayne's world and I fall in love lol. Your reactions were so great to watch, really fun. I hope you go see the show live, if you haven't already.

[@LatetotheParty]

We'll take any chance to quote Wayne's World. 😂 We ended up watching a shadow cast Rocky Horror watch along at our local theater the very weekend we posted this reaction! It was a blast!

[@grump9001]

@@LatetotheParty Oh wow awesome to hear from you, and yay!! Glad you got to see it in its full glory 😂❤️Best time I ever had with it was in college at a halloween showing of it in the 500 seat lecture auditorium, so many people dressed up in lingerie, and going full ham with the show, screaming it 🥳😂 crazy wild time. Thanks for helping me remember it. 💕

[@MrPeteykins]

Ha ha, I grew up in Tucson, and the New Loft theater (which was, confusingly, the old Loft theater) used to show it every Friday night. I saw it there many times in 1982-1983.

[@LAMusing]

Back in 73 (or 74?) I was in high school when the stage show was at the Roxy in Hollywood - a lot of my classmates went to see it. I can NOT remember why I didn't get to go, but man, I do remember being very "bummed": about it. I used to have an autographed T shirt a friend bought me to make me feel better about missing it. PS- Richard O'Brien, the actor playing Riff Raff, wrote the stage play and co-wrote the screenplay :)

[@lorrainemiller688]

It was offered as a midnight movie for decades in my region... so much fun!

[@NeelTheSphynx]

I really think seeing the movie on its own first is very important to one enjoying seeing it in a theater. Almost no way to follow it if it's your first time seeing in all that chaos.

[@jainthorne4136]

Bit of trivia---Hilary Farr, the star of Love it or List it, plays the bride at the start of this movie. Also, I live in Portland, OR and the Clinton Theater has played Rocky Horror every Saturday night for 43 years. Even during the pandemic they rolled the film every Saturday to either an empty theater or for one person just to keep it going.

[@jamierabinowitz7102]

One of my favorite films . I went to an early showing at the loft and it is worth it .the best part is you don’t have to know all the cues

[@LatetotheParty]

We ended up watching Rocky Horror at The Loft a couple days after posting this reaction. Such a blast!

[@SallyWilliams]

You did a great reaction video to this. This movie was one of the most inspiring moments in my teenage life, not only great entertainment but also "Don't dream it, be it" . And I did. You are a good team, and you, Robert... are such a cute bear 😘 . Greetings from Germany

[@jamesshannon546]

I've seen The Rocky Horror Picture Show a bunch of times. I just recently brought my fiance to see The Rocky Horror Show at the theater close to wear I use to live and she has never seen it or knew what the plot was. I had to show her the movie and the one that came out for the 40th anniversary in 2016. I told her it was about sexual stuff and she wanted to see it so we went to see The Rocky Horror Show and after she saw it she loved the soundtrack and couldn't stop listening to the music.

[@ketchup016]

15:28 My mom likes to tell the story of when she took her baby sister (17) from Vancouver to Seattle to see the musical Hair. It wasn't playing in Canada because at the end all the actors walk out on stage fully naked. So yeah, they did some shit in the 70s. 😂

[@ElaMongrella]

Tim Curry actually played Frank in the original theater show, before the movie came out. He used a German accent in the show, but one day he sat behind a very posh lady in a bus, and loved her accent so much, he used it in the movie and ever since for the role. Meatloaf was also in the original theater show as both Eddie and Dr. Scott, and was a little disappointed that they wanted another actor to play Dr. Scott for the movie.

[@SallyWilliams]

Meat Loaf was in the 1st US production, not in London

[@jeffbartholomew1152]

Of any reaction channel on YT, you two have to be the ones I am the most excited to watch do a reaction to on this movie. 😂

[@Dar-hu2nw]

That was Patricia Quinn’s (Magenta)lips mouthing and Richard O’Briens (Riff Raff) voice during the opening song. Tim Curry rocked the character of Frank-N-Furter. I bought the 45 year anniversary dvd and watched it 20 something times in 30 days. Really loved this movie.

[@taylorkendal17]

If you can, try and find a clip of the song Superheroes - it was cut between the house launching into space and the birds eye view of Brad, Janet and Dr. Scott in the wreckage. It's short but a nice little tie up about how the three of them are changed after the experience.

[@LatetotheParty]

We saw it at the live screening we watched of Rocky Horror last Saturday.

[@snakehandler87]

Watch this movie every year since I was a kid, an ex was in a little cal production. The plays are allot of fun. Just love it ❤ I'm so glad y'all enjoyed it
