The Rocky Horror Picture ShowWhen the film was released in 1975, it was a box office flop. But…audiences loved it and by 1977 it had developed a devoted and enthusiastic fan base and was shown every Saturday night for years, in theatres all around the world! The BBC’s Culture department has said of the film.
Every Saturday night since 1977, cross-gendered disciples in corsets and ripped fishnets have congregated to chant and sing along to The Rocky Horror Picture Show as if attending some gloriously kinky midnight mass. It’s the ultimate cult movie. The first. The biggest. The one cult movie to rule them all. For more than 40 years, The Rocky Horror Picture Show has defined what we mean by a ‘cult’ movie, though few can ever hope to match its phenomenal level of ritualised worship. A box office flop so ker-splatty it was pulled from the few screens showing it back in 1975, only to be lovingly resurrected by a devout fanbase. It has since grossed over $170 million worldwide and holds the record for the longest continually running movie release of all time. |
