"Let's Do The Time Warp Again!"

Ever since I saw The Rocky Horror Picture show last Halloween, Barrett and I have been really excited to go to a midnight showing in San Francisco. Well, this weekend we found one and were able to make that wish a reality and took Meghan and Becky along with us.
If you don't know what Rocky Horror is, in short, it is a 1970's cult classic and the longest running participatory movie ever. Basically it resembles the structure of a Frankenstein plot with a few twists. Lots of singing, lots of dancing and lots of lingerie. Pretty hysterical. You could get the basic plot by the movie below. If you watch it, let me say this, keep in mind that it is supposed to just be funny and ridiculous, which I think it is. Come on, it was the 70's haha. Oh, and after seeing this, I have a new respect for Tim Curry's acting abilities.



Anyway, Meghan, Becky, Barrett and I all had a blast dressing up (not to worry, we just went for funky, not copying certain styles in the movie haha), going to the midnight showing, doing The Time Warp (a more popular song-check it out) and yelling and throwing things at the screen. It was wild. Some people get very into it. My favorite was one guy that came alone and was dressed exactly like Tim Curry; i guess more power to ya, man.

If you are confused about what a midnight screening of Rocky Horror entails, it is basically this- there is a live cast that acts out the movie as it is playing on the screen in the background, and it is interactive, meaning when the "Time Warp" comes on, everyone in the audience stands up and does the dance and sings. We also are supposed to do certain things throughout the move, like throw rolls of toilet paper when one of the characters yells "Great scott!". In addition to this, some people in the theater know the movie so well that they yell things out in the forms of questions and then the next line the character says on screen seems like it pertains to it. I don't think there are any examples I can give that would be appropriate for my blog haha.
It was a blast! Definitely an essential San Francisco experience :)
