Review of Rocky Horror Picture Show

For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, The Rocky Horror Picture Show starts out with Brad and Janet, a very conservative couple, just coming from a friend's wedding and confessing their love for each other. In accordance, Brad immediately proposes, and before the two can get hitched, they leave to visit their old science teacher, the class that they first met. Along the way, however, their car gets a flat, and the nearest shelter is "Over At The Frankenstein Place."

When stepping into the castle, however, they meet a "Sweet Transvestite" doctor, his hunchback service, a rather sexual aggressive maid, an abnormally muscular and attractive reanimated corpse, and a half-dead fat biker with a penchant for rock music.

Needless to say, "that was one night they'd never forget."

There are still many "live" showings in theatres, mainly at or past midnight. Participants to these shows all usually come in costume, and a series of rituals are performed. First off, there are nicknames for everyone. If you've never seen The Rocky Horror Picture Show in your life, you're dubbed a "virgin". Oftentimes, a "virgin hunt" is performed, where virgins are dragged to the front of the theatre, have a red V painted on their forehead, and dry humped.

Those who have seen the show on tape or DVD, but never live, are called "masturbators," and those who go to the live showings often are called "sluts," or "whores."

Also, while the actual movie is playing on screen, others get up on stage and project their shadows, acting out the movie as well.

Other small traditions include spraying water guns into the air during the scene with rain and dancing the Time Warp along with the song.
