What is the Rocky Horror Picture Show?
The Rocky Horror Picture Show is the first and only true audience partici-(Say It!)-pation movie. Attendees yell lines at the screen and during extended pauses between dialogue, dress up in costume and act out scenes and throw props during the film.
The audience participation phenomenon was observed as early as the film's first run in 1975 and was later re-released as a midnight movie where the audience participation really began to flourish. For the "gore sensitive", Rocky Horror is NOT a horror film. It is a rock-musical send-up of mad science fiction and horror films.
