The Rocky Horror Picture Show

33m | Nov 2, 2026

Is there any movie that epitomizes the term "cult classic" more than THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW!? Starring Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, and Barry Bostwick, this outrageous horror-comedy musical is now over half a century old, yet it's so unconventional you'd think it was made today! From its flamboyant characters and outrageous musical numbers to its unapologetic exploration of sexuality and gender norms, this movie was decades ahead of its time!

When THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW first hit theaters in 1975, its bizarre blend of science fiction, horror, comedy, and sexual liberation was a little too much for mainstream audiences, and the movie initially flopped at the box office. But in 1976, a clever decision to revive the film through midnight screenings helped transform it into a cultural phenomenon. Audiences began showing up in costume, shouting at the screen, singing along, and turning ordinary movie screenings into wildly interactive events. A cult classic was born!

Cristina first saw ROCKY HORROR in high school and immediately became captivated by its wonderfully weird world. Chad, on the other hand, had always known about the movie but never had much interest in actually watching it. Until NOW! More than 50 years after its original release, Chad is finally experiencing THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW for the very first time!

Will he become the newest convert to the cult of ROCKY HORROR, or will he be left wondering what all the fuss is about? Watch and find out!
