Saturday Night — as The Rocky Horror Picture Show hits its second anniversary at the Royal Park Theater, a lady in kinky, black garb pushes a man to the floor and begins kicking him madly. The man, as kinkily dressed as his attacker, grovels at her feet for a moment or two. then crawls in hot pursuit and makes a perfect tackle.
The crowd watches gleefully. “That’s great, beautiful,” another bizarrely-dressed girl screams, and she runs to the pair on the floor to join the fun.
Inches away, the radio man is finishing an ordeal with his wires. “Testing-testing,” he says into his microphone. Ears perk up as if the place is filled with rabbits rather than Transylvanians, civilians, virgins, and whores.We’re live from the Royal Park Theater,” the man with the microphone screeches, “And it’s the second anniversary of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.”
The crowd screams and wails. A fat man, decked out in dark glasses and black tails — a sack of rice hanging out of one of the pockets — turns to his friend and says, “This is just my 20th time, I’m not that really into it.”
Some have seen it hundreds of times, and to those really hard-core fans, Rocky Horror is more than a one-of-a-kind audience participation movie about an alien bisexual scientist and his lusty crew. It’s so much more than just a movie, It’s a true addiction.
For two years, Rocky Horror has packed the Royal Park on weekend midnights, and the crowd is as big, if not bigger, a show than the film itself. The audience of about 600 in the lobby Friday night was especially rambunctious, but that was all right, because silence at Rocky Horror is never golden.
“I have questions and puh-rizes,” the radio man said.
“Hey, what other part does Tim Curry play?”
“The preacher!” a girl yells out,” almost before the radio man finishes the question. “Well, here, it says the reverend, but that’s the same thing — you win our first puh-rize!”
The crowd screams its approval… >>>
