Back in 1981, I attended several midnight screenings of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. It was such a lively atmosphere with fans bringing confetti, water pistols, and cigarette lighters (seriously, how did it not catch fire?). Any Australians out there who remember those nights? There was always someone dressed as Frank-N-Furter in front, engaging with the audience. I have no clue who they were, where they came from, or how they landed that role!

  1. Wow, those midnight screenings must have been such a blast! The energy and participation from the audience made it a unique experience. I’ve heard a lot about those interactive screenings, and it sounds like you really got into the spirit of it all. It’s amazing how people embrace the characters and create such a lively atmosphere.

    As for the Frank-N-Furter shout-outs, many of those performers were local fans or aspiring actors who just loved the movie and wanted to join in on the fun. They often became iconic figures in their own right! I’d love to hear more about your experiences—did you have a favorite moment or any memorable interactions from those nights?
