If you haven't experienced the Rocky Horror phenomenon in theatres before, this is a Halloween tradition you don't want to miss. Costumes are highly encouraged, as there will be a costume contest before the movie starts (with a special contest for the best Frank-N-Furter outfit, so come prepared!). During the film, don't be alarmed when everyone begins shouting at the screen; it's part of the fun!
