I spent one semester of high school in Boston, and a group of us went to a live midnight show and I was the only 'Virgin' in the group.<br /><br />After that, I was hooked. I passed the tradition on to my daughter, although her first time seeing it was on DVD. :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914384080646206545.post-85864568774188846692014-07-07T19:10:30.093-06:002014-07-07T19:10:30.093-06:00Hi Tina,

It's hectic as you can well imagine.<br /><br />The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Oh good grief. Every big party over here and somebody insists on playing the Time Warp song. Incidentally, the star of the movie, Richard O'Brien, ended up doing a bizarre game show over here called, "The Crystal Maze."<br /><br />Yikes and now the Time Warp song is rattling around in my head!<br /><br />Be well, dear friend.<br /><br />Gary :) klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914384080646206545.post-61330521782665979082014-07-07T13:10:55.804-06:002014-07-07T13:10:55.804-06:00I suppose I'm only a quasi-fan.

I wanted to go so bad when I was in high school in the early 80s but of course my nazi mom wouldn't let me b/c it was a midnight movie. Although i'm sure it was playing in Boston when I was in college, I didn't ever go. I've only seen one midnight movie, pink floyd's 'the wall'. I didn't actually see RHPS till I was an adult on Comedy Central. I guess by that time I was either too old for it or the novelty had passed since I was already sick of that 'time warp' song by the end of the 80s.

Also, every time they show a spoon on the screen (inside joke with the movie) people are encouraged to lob spoons. It's practically the most fun you can have with 2 hours and a bucket full of spoons.A Beer for the Showerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029139745335325356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914384080646206545.post-5051917363692750122014-07-07T09:09:47.208-06:002014-07-07T09:09:47.208-06:00ha. i have seen it...and went to those showings in...ha. i have seen it...and went to those showings in college...and made some very interesting friends...pretty funny too when they would show up at the dorm room, as they were very different than my room mates...lol....Brian Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722940075884718007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914384080646206545.post-56278482451094562102014-07-07T08:10:34.470-06:002014-07-07T08:10:34.470-06:00I've never seen it.
