Which is today.
I will confess that I have never been a Rocky Horror fan. I didn't encounter it early enough to imprint on it, I didn't go to multiple late-night showings to make it a communal affair, I didn't actually see it until my 20s, and have watched it all of once time since. It's just not my kink.
That said, I know some folk (cough +Margie Kleerup cough) who have a deep love for it, so I off this up, along with a happy birthday and a video.

40 years ago today The Rocky Horror Picture Show was released. A flop on its initial release, it became a cult phenomenon when it was re-released as a midnight movie. From the movie, here is "The Time Warp" #rhps

I saw the trailer in the theater and said "Nope." Still haven't watched it.
Have the soundtrack and still know a large chunk of the response calls to it.
It made the #GMRT15 road trip with +Mary Oswell fun when one of the songs came up.
I should see if I still have my gold top hat somewhere… I know the rest of my Columbia getup is long gone.
I have a DVD. That way, I can watch the parts I like and ignore the rest. I also like this Doctor Who Parody by The Hillywood Show®. Did I read about it here?
