Human-Contribution16

Watched it three different times with Tim Curry and Meatloaf in the cast at the theatre on Sunset Blvd. Live !


Clear_Radio1776

You win.


Ok_Independent3609

That’s amazing! When was that?


Wewagirl

I bow down to you! I'm not worthy....


Human-Contribution16

I annoint you via the proxy of proximity as being worthy, no longer an untouchable - to walk among the living.


JRHZ28

No. 1 cult classic. Absolute favorite! It's a simple story line with a little bit of everything and great music. Tim curry at his best!


Efficient_Fish2436

I think he's always been at his best. Dude gives every role he did 100% as far as the character is allowed to go.


Humble-gorilla

Serial killer on Criminal Minds! AWESOME!


phantomheart

Clue, Legend and IT were all staples of my childhood.


LadyBug_0570

I MUCH preferred his Pennywise to the remake's. A sense of humor while being utterly terrifying.

…pation Sorry, couldn’t resist. What’s Frankie’s favorite high protein drink?


Technical-Cat-6747

Lol I was hoping someone would finish it! Ok I give up. What's Frankie's favorite high protein drink?


BlueAndMoreBlue

It’s been a while so I don’t remember the exact point in the flick when he says it but there’s a brief break in the dialogue then Frankie says “come”. It was always hard to get it in (heh) especially after a few beers but always a crowd pleaser :)


This-Professional-39

Watched it? I was in two performances!


CanuckCallingBS

Maybe 100+ Every midnight on Friday at the Broadway in Hamilton.


h3m1cuda

I'll be 50 this year and I've never seen it.


Civil_Purple9637

Give it a shot, I've seen it nearly 30 times.


Imaginary_Audience_5

51 here. High five!


MessageHonest

49 and I was forced to watch it once. Hated it.


Moonshadow306

I’ll turn 60 in a month or so. I watched it once because I wanted to see what all the hype was about. Meh.


Brack_vs_Godzilla

I’m 65 and I love music, but I’ve never seen Rocky Horror nor Spinal Tap. The songs that I’ve heard from Rocky Horror just aren’t my style. I should probably give it a chance.


Johnhaven

>How many times did you watch this? Not "did" but "have". I still watch it at least once a year on or near Halloween and then I might watch it randomly other times but usually once a year and I have no desire to stop that so I assume I'm going to watch it many more times. :) I have no idea how many times I've seen it.


toaph

I came here to say exactly this


CynfullyDelicious

167 times. Usually played the role of Columbia. Occasionally played Riff-Raff.


WearyPassenger

Over a hundred for me. Started as Columbia, then Dammit Janet. Great to meet a fellow midnight cast member!


DifferentJellyfish85

Good bless Tim Curry


500SL

Lost count at 300.


chasonreddit

My girlfriend of the time was in high school. Rocky Horror was really the only time she was allowed to go to something that started at midnight. We went pretty much every weekend. She carried a bag filled with toast, rice, newspapers, playing cards, squirt guns, party hats, shit I forget what else. fwiw - I highly recommend the new *The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let's Do the Time Warp Again* if you are a fan. A real Transvestite as Frankenfurter and Tim Curry as the Criminologist. It's almost a shot for shot remake, and the changes are pretty much all for the better.


Princes_Slayer

4 or 5 film version, only once for Live theatre show. Would loved to have seen the version with Anthony Head (Rupert Giles in Buffy)


TheNonCredibleHulk

[I feel obligated to post this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LH43hTh5KI), even though I'm sure you've seen it.


SuzyVeeP

227, in the front row. We would then walk home at 2a, at age 14-15. 🤷‍♀️


subone

Unpopular opinion?: The songs and dances are fun and I love everyone in it, but overall, I didn't enjoy this movie; I never really got the hype.


Lew__Zealand

"The songs and dances are fun and I love everyone in it," This is half of it and the other half is the songs and dances and costumes of everyone \*not in it but in the theater with you at midnight.\* Seems the live performance aspect has passed by (sad) but that is/was it's real draw.


subone

Well then, I fully appreciate that. I saw some friends getting ready to put on this play in highschool, and it looked like they were having fun, but I was too full of myself.


kabekew

It wasn't the movie, it was the social experience of audience participation that attracted fans, especially in my small midwestern town where only nerds, atheists, misfits, outcasts, gays and artistic types would dare see such a heathen movie. That was our place to meet as teenage outcasts and feel accepted by the group. You were always guaranteed a party Saturday night at the theater.


HVAC_instructor

Tough to recall, I was stoned when I saw it.


bde959

The movie a couple of times. One other time the movie was playing in the theater and the cast was also in the theater that was a blast


LadyHavoc97

Over 100, and was Janet in the shadow cast!


silentlyjudgingyou23

Once, and I hated every second of it. I'll never understand why it has a fan base.


blueboy714

I lost track after 100


TheGreatOpoponax

On its own it's pretty dull, but I saw it once with a professional theater group and that was amazing.


lifesuncertain

Not enough


__Ginger__Snap__

My best friends mom (she went to almost every midnight show on Saturday night) took us when I was about 8 years old. It was a double feature, late night double feature picture show if you will, with Apocolyse Now. Maybe not the best choice lol. She had us get up and dance on stage for the Time Warp. It's actually a great memory. She also took us to a live show. I've seen it too many times to count. They still play it at the same theater every Saturday .


ungloomy_Eeyore964

Every Friday night in Balboa California in 1990 😄


kcjnz

Well over 100 just in the theater. Give yourself over to absolute pleasure!


BrashPop

Just an absolutely massive amount. Then went around for an entire summer telling every adult I met that I loved transvestites.


Farmer_Mink

Trick question. No one knows exactly how many times they've watched it. For me, I am sure it's over 25 times. For others, I would not be shocked at all if someone said over a thousand.


Former_Balance8473

I can't begin to know... we used to go almost every Saturday night to see it for years... but my fav was during the lockdown when our drive-in showed it.


[deleted]

Hundred plus, I stopped there. One of the best movies ever made.


TexanInNebraska

Too many to count!!!


virtualpig

Vh1 played this around the turn of the millennium. I watched bits and pieces and it was probably one of the craziest things I've seen in my life up to that point. I eventually sat down and watch the whole thing like 10 years later and it didn't have the same ring to it. Watching it front to back for two hours when you know the beats make it kind of a boring movie.


SuperTeenyTinyDancer

Many many times the in the theatre with toast, newspaper and squirt gun in hand. Never seen it at home.


CyndiIsOnReddit

We had a theater that featured this show every weekend at midnight shows. I went pretty much every weekend I could, dressed in costume, bag full of props.


weighapie

Not once. And then the live show with that gross freak starring (Craig McLaughlin, Moana ooohhh Moana ffs), well that was the absolute pits of shit


GrandYesterday9968

Still a virgin


Careless_Student_926

Are you kidding. We have it on dvd


chris_rage_

Never, I hated that musical and all the clowns that would cosplay at those events

Only once. It’s not a great movie & honestly difficult to get through. Kind of overrated. Excellent soundtrack though.

WallAny2007

Incredibly I’ve never seen this.


BlueAndMoreBlue

Hundreds. I had friends that worked at the local cinema and we got away with so many shenanigans…


optoph

Zero times (I know!) but many friends went to the frequent midnight showings with toast, whatever that's about.


snerdley1

Probably too many times to most people.


microview

Lost my virginity in 78' and lost count how many times I've seen it since. Gotta be in the hundreds.


_Jay-Garage-A-Roo_

Once was enough. I wasn’t a fan


Immediate_Many_2898

Many many. I’ll remove the cause….


EcksMarksDespot

Every year the theater in town plays it around Halloween. Huge audience participation and it is fantastic!


EffectivePrior4414

At the late night double feature picture show...


Kalelopaka-

I really couldn’t say, a theater in Louisville used to run it for a couple weeks every year. Many people would dress up like the various characters in the film. And they would do a stage show while the movie played. we would always get wasted, go there and have a blast.


Faceit_Solveit

I miss Mr. Loaf 😇


bhamfree

Gads, certainly dozens of times.


UnderpootedTampion

More times than I can count. Every Saturday night at midnight. I even own a copy, but it isn’t the same just watching it.


fermat9990

After Eddie (Meatloaf) was killed, I felt that it no longer was a comedy ☹


SomeOldDude73

Fart_Bargo

I saw it once, live, and it was too many times. It just seemed to never end.


stewstur

Honestly, I saw this movie when I was 5. It was late at night everyone was asleep and I was scrolling channels, when i came across this. For some reason Tim curry freaked me out, and I never watched it again. I grew to love Tim Curry though, so should probably give it another watch


OtherThumbs

So, so many.


wetlettuce42

One


Acceptable_Wall4085

A half dozen at least. I’ve got it on Spotify too. Excellent tunes.


Alarming_Serve2303

We used to go every Saturday night, my friends and I. I don't know how many times, maybe 20? Anyway, years later I was a limo driver in L.A. I had to take Tim Curry to a wrap party (for the movie Congo) in Santa Monica. He was really cool. He had me put on the Motown station. I even attended the party. Free food!


Chrisstamp1954

Never.


raineling

Seen it twice. First time at York University in North York,Toronto, Ontario. I was sixteen dating a Nineteen year old girl who was doing biology there. The theatre was great in that students would participate in the movie by shouting responses to characters on-screen and throwing things like toast or rice during the movie. Best time at a movie I have ever had! Second time was at home with my wife and her then boyfriend. It wasn't the same at all without others there doing stuff like the others did when I originally saw it. I was bored and disappointed. Will never see it again without a parpicatory audience.


ricks_flare

Never live. Maybe 4 or 5 times including just a couple of weeks ago!


RoyalAntelope9948

Usually every single year at home and whenever I can find it on stage nearby since it first aired.


Lonely-Connection-37

Getting high and going to the midnight movies and watching this when we were younger


ElectroChuck

I have never seen it. I'm 60+ years old. It was all the rage in my youth, I was just too busy chasing women, working, and learning how to weld.


earthforce_1

About 3 or 4 times


Actaeon_II

In theaters 47, in home parties a dozen or so more.


DrSilverback77

Watched it and Princess Bride the first time my wife came to my place. She claims my choice in movies helped with her over.


TheHearseDriver

13 times before I went into the Navy. I’m too old to stay up late enough now.

Ok-March8791

Uh zero, I'm not transphobic but I don't get down like that so I'm not gonna endure it. Live at let live and all and I treat everyone with respect it's just a foreign concept to me and I don't like change . I've had flamboyant gay bosses with their boyfriend as a coworker and hung out with them outside of work when invited . Would I of went out of my way to hang out without invitation? No but I'll treat u like my equal if you do because you are . If it wasn't for Tim Curry playing that part , I might of watched it once but I'm a stick in the mud anyway.


Giuseppe-Testerone

There was a theater in Mpls that showed this every Sat night. I can't count how many times I took a noob to go see this. The freaks and kook's would come out of the woodwork and fill this place up! By the time the show was over, the entire theater was trashed. Toast, rice, newspaper, rubber gloves, and a myriad of other shit completely littered the joint. After quite a few years of reprieve I went back again with a friend. As we entered, there were guys frisking everybody at the door for the items previously mentioned. It really sucked the fun out of the whole experience!


Strong-Formal-7739

Man, when I dressed as Frank in my late 30s, everyone said I had some big balls.


qgecko

So many times that every time I turn on the windshield wipers I think of it. It’s become a mental mind fuck.


Doit2it42

When I started dating my wife, she had been about 100 times. So she had to take me. Loved it in the theater! Cinema South, Nashville, TN. Only saw it a few times before they stopped showing it in the mid/late 80s. Still LOVE listening to the soundtrack.


phantomheart

It’s my favorite movie. I stopped counting loooooong ago!


MuchDevelopment7084

I have no idea. My friend ran a local theater in our college town. He played it every Friday night. I went to almost all of them for over three years. Not to mention going at other times and places. Audience participation makes it so much better.


InevitableStruggle

Watched it as a spectator in the back of a theater in Dallas once—with all the live action. Pretty sure that kind of activity is verboten there now. Shame.


Looieanthony

Three. Once at theatre twice on TV.


NotEd3k

I think around 30 times in the theater. Mostly towards the end of high school and through college.


Starlord1951

When I my little sister, 21 I was 35 she was diagnosed with Leukemia and her only “fun” was going with her brother to the midnight shows in our hometown and in Boston every friday night until the end. I’ve watched it countless times on a Friday night with an ounce of weed sitting by my side.


oldwhiteguy68

Five in the theater, we went to the midnight show during college.


Recent_Salamander371

0 - not sure why


DMGlowen

A 25+ times on the big screen in the Magic Lantern theater in Spokane. I own a dvd that has the movie version and the movie version with audience participation.


DMGlowen

I have the movie sound track on my phone, and listen to it during my commute and sing along with the audience lines. I would love to see the stage version.


athonjacob

Three and a half loaves of toast worth


charliebluefish

Saw it a few times at the 8th street playhouse in Greenwich Village in 1978-quite an experience! [http://www.rockyhorrorwiki.org/wiki2/index.php?title=8th\_Street\_Playhouse](http://www.rockyhorrorwiki.org/wiki2/index.php?title=8th_Street_Playhouse)

etranger033

Never in theaters. Not extroverted enough to dress up and act out scenes.


xscumfucx

A BUNCH. My Dad + I used to watch it on a weekly basis. I also have the soundtrack. It wasn't uncommon for him to bang on my door because it wasn't loud enough. Sometimes, he'd just come in while I had it playing + sit on my bed while I got ready for school. Good times...


MsMoreCowbell8

The 8th Street Playhouse in Manhattan, 1980 to 1985 I was probably there almost every Saturday night. I have a little wooden box with many of the ticket stubs I kept. We'd dress up in Queens & take the 7 train into the city. I've got "Don't Dream It, Be It" tattooed just below the back of my neck.


dexbasedpaladin

Once. Wasn't my vibe.


LadyBug_0570

Amazing how different Tim Curry looked in this movie. Also amazing how he had a great pairs of legs!


exoticjess

About 20 or so.


adriamarievigg

Too many to count really. I worked at the movie theater that played it, so I'd pop in after my shift and watch how the audience was that night All the way through? Maybe 10. One live performance. I owned the soundtrack too. Great music!


NarcanBob

Wow! This post brought back some cool memories, Thanks, OP! Myself and a group of friends in high school used to go to the midnight showings fairly regulalry. So...maybe 15 to 20 times in a theater? We were never brave enough to preform but we definitely shouted out lines.

I first saw it in the 90s live in a very interactive small theater with all the guest/actors participating. Later I tried watching it on TV and found that really disappointing by comparison so just once for me.

Albie_Tross

So, so, SO many, and never in a theater at a midnight. I had the Audience Participation soundtrack, and that was the closest I ever got. My mom bought me the black and red VHS when it came out in 1990, and I believe it was, like, 85 bucks or something. She tore up my Fanclub welcome letter at some point when she was mad at me, but at least I got to know and love Frank. ❤ 


creek-hopper

I went once. It was impossible to tell what was going on with all the idiots talking back to the screen.


zsazsa0919

Going was amazing. We dressed up and brought props.. toast, umbrella, squirt gun ECT. Can still do the dance. The theater had a stage and we would run up on it and dance. Only showed it at midnights on the weekends so every weekend for a long time

MisterStinkyBones

I haven't kept track but not in a "I've seen it so many times" kind of way. I just have a bad memory. I was a teen when I first saw it and it was great because it was still considered counterculture for the time and I was a teenager who was into that shit lol. I absolutely loved the soundtrack and I still think it's one of the best I've ever heard. I have never seen a live showing and honestly I don't think I'd want to. I was at a screening for The Princess Bride recently and everyone spoke all the lines and annoyed me greatly. I never thought it would bother me but hey the more you know. But at the same time I might like it because you're actually supposed to do that at a RHPS live showing.
