The Musical World of Rocky Horror

Rocky Horror Picture Show (Title)

The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) is the film adaptation of Richard O'Brien's stage play, The Rocky Horror Show. It's also the reason for the existence of this web site and countless others, due to the massive worldwide cult following and audience participation phenomenon that its midnight showings somehow created. The film premiered in London on August 14th, 1975, had its U.S. premiere in Hollywood on September 26th, 1975, and... was a huge flop. It was not until April 2nd, 1976 that it began its midnight run first at the Waverly Theatre in New York City, then at the Riverside Twin in Austin, and so on. The movie found its audience as a midnighter and has been playing continuously for over thirty years now, with U.S. gross receipts of $150 million (and counting) despite never playing in more than a couple hundred theaters at once.
