I can still remember being taken to see it in the 70s by some friends. I just wanted to see the movie and kept complaining about the people standing up and making so much noise. Picture Maurice Moss’ reaction and you won’t be too far off.

I feel that. I’ve only been a handful of times, but I can understand the anxiety. It’s fun, but can be overwhelming. I did, however, win “best costume” my first time and have to say I looked pretty good in that corset and my mom’s curly black wig.

The Museum Lichtspiele in Munich has been showing it every weekend since it first hit Germany, and has no intention of stopping. They are in the Guinness Book for longest continuous run, and should they ever stop that would cost them that spot in the book. They even decorated the screen room to look like the ballroom.

It got brought out in 2013 by a couple who run it as a no profit labour of love. There was a bunch of much needed work done when they took it over which included a new screen, sound system and even seats IIRC.

I used to see it at the University of Hawai‘i Physical Sciences Theater. Apparently that was the only department willing/able to handle the custodial load one Saturday a month. We quickly learned to dress strategically, with garbage bags full of clean clothes in the trunks of our cars so we could head straight over to Waikiki afterwards.
I’ve always loved the regional differences in callouts and even came up with one of my own (that I’m sure others have stumbled upon as well) that I have been “practicing” for twenty+ years with nary a chance to use it live.
“I’ll even remove the cause…”
“But what about Bart and Maggie and Homer and Lisa and Marge?”

in the Nashville-adjacent Franklin Cinema, we had two pretty good ones but they were very dated to the late-80s-early-90s.
when Columbia gets medusa’d into a nude statue, we’d sing the hook to Red Hot Chilli Peppers’ “She’s Stone Cold Bush”.
since “BABY” was written across the shoulders of Eddie’s jacket, when he broke through the ice from the deep freeze, we’d all yell “ICE, ICE BABY!”
fun times.

I worked at a movie theater when I was a teenager and I HATED when we played this movie. It was hell to clean up after.

At at least a couple of places I used to see RHPS, the regular cast got a cut of the ticket sales but they had to clean the theater after each showing.

The Nuart theater in West Los Angeles showed The Rocky Horror blah blah blah for years and years. I went to a lot of movies there but never saw that one.
It’s just not the same after they put up that facade on the front, and tidied up the inside.
