I was watching this show last night called Freddie, starring Mr Sarah Michelle Gellar, Freddie Prinze Junior and the guy who was David on Beverly Hills 90210. On the Comcast Digital Cable description, it said that Freddie took his niece to see a 'horror musical', and, whatever, hilarity ensued, it's a sitcom. Turns out, what they meant by 'horror musical' was 'Rocky Horror Picture Show'.

Well, I was a regular Frankie fan back in the day, and I was pleased to see it still has a sort of shelf-life, even if it is being regulated to Halloween themed 30 minute sitcoms.

So...

I so need a Rocky Horror icon.

I was first introduced to Rocky Horror by one of my classmates in high school drama class, who would come in every morning of our sophomore year, and start singing "Time Warp". He had to explain it to me. I wanted to see it after that, but my parents weren't about to let me go to a midnight showing of anything, and none of my friends were interested at the time, so I didn't go. I finally saw the film on video in a classroom in London in 1986, when we watched on the final day of a Theatre in London class, just for fun. I've since seen it a couple more times, mainly for the lusciousness that is Tim Curry. I've still never gone to a midnight showing where they do the whole ritual. Maybe someday, when I'm older and need a bit of a thrill!

I went for the first time when I was 15. It was with a group of people, one of whom was a boy I liked. I had the best time. Seeing it in the theatre like that is just an amazing thing. Some of the things people shout were so funny, and just totally letting yourself go like that for a few hours was theraputic. I went a bunch of times in high school. We'd see the movie, then go to a diner and eat desserts and probably act really obnxious.

I have a feeling it would be different now, though.
