Midnight Movie Madness at it's very greatest.
30 March 2003
Everyone and their granny has been to this movie at one time or another and it still keeps getting bigger everytime you turn around. Despite all the commercialization from Television and Video, Rocky Horror Picture Show keeps packing them in every Friday and Saturday Night at midnight. People come dressed or undressed as it maybe in full blown "Rocky Gear". They know the Time Warp better than the Electric Slide. They shout obscenities at the right moments in the film that would make Satan himself blush. The Theaters get trashed wall to wall and the theater owners sit and count out the ticket sale profits on Sunday morning. Many movie companies have tried to make their films into cult movie hits by playing them at Midnight but they just don't got what it takes. 20th Century Fox originally wanted to scrap the movie after disasterous mainstream movie goers did not show up in 1975. In 1976 Fox gave RHPS a rebirth on the Art House Movie Circuit at midnight and from that day forward things just clicked. NYC Cast (The First Rocky Horror Audience Participation Cast) gave the world it's first Audience Participation Lines ever. Nowadays new and improved A.P. Lines are cropping up all over the globe in many different languages. RHPS has led to life long friendships and even marriages. RHPS's main ingredient for being the Number 1 midnight movie draw of all time is plain and simple. "Don't Dream It.... Be it !" RHPS has come along way since 1975 and will go on and on till the very last ticket is sold and the last curtain falls.
