Rocky Horror Picture Show on the big screen at Royal Cinemas
On October 14, 2022, the Royal Cinemas showed the Rocky Horror Picture Show at the end of a night of fun and music at the kickoff block-party event for the Festival of Leaves.
The Rocky Horror Picture show was a flop of a movie when it was first released in 1975, but it has now become considered by some as one of the greatest musical films of all time. Today this movie has a large international cult following. In 2005, it was selected for preservation by the Library of Congress as being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.”
The movie almost sold out the main theater, with 196 people in attendance.
Classic movies are not new at the Royal Cinemas. Rick Novak and Chris Van Hoy have created a ‘film club’ called Got Popcorn? which meets at the theater on most Tuesdays evenings to watch these classic movies. All shows start at 7:30, and tickets are only $5.00. Find out more on their Facebook page.
On October 28 at 9:00 pm, Got Popcorn? invites you to spend the evening with the master of Horror, Vincent Price.
In November, Got Popcorn? has a great lineup of classic westerns.
- November 1 – The Santa Fe Trail, starring Errol Flynn, Ronald Reagan, and Oliva de Havilland
- November 8 – Shenandoah, starring Jimmy Stewart and Patrick Wayne
- November 23 – War of the Wildcats, starring John Wayne and Gabby Hayes
- November 29 – Outlaw, starring Jane Russell and Thomas Mitchell
Here are a few pictures from before the event.
Some were a tad sexy; it is sexy with HUMOR – because that is the nature of the characters in the movie’s costumes & the whole audience participation fad with its characteristic audience costumes and ambiance.







Watch the trailer.
