From the Disney press release:

This fall, fans around the world will celebrate the 50th anniversary of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, one of cinema’s most groundbreaking and provocative films. In honor of the milestone, a wide array of events and tributes are planned to salute the enduring legacy of the genre-defying cult classic.

Based on the stage musical by Richard O’Brien, The Rocky Horror Picture Show shattered conventions with its bold characters, flamboyant style, and infectious rock ’n’ roll soundtrack. Its legendary midnight screenings – featuring shadow casts, fan costumes, and audience call-backs – redefined moviegoing and created a cultural phenomenon. Today, it remains the longest-running theatrical release in film history, with weekly screenings still held around the world.

Events planned to celebrate the 50th anniversary of The Rocky Horror Picture Show include:


Stay tuned for more announcements as the 50th anniversary celebration continues!

I just don't get the allure of this film (even though I generally like musicals).

Great movie - I've watched it many times and have had RHP parties in my theater for Halloween ( no squirt guns or throwing rice ! ). A girlfriend back in the 1970's took me to the stage play in Los Angeles. I had no idea what I was going to at the time. Great music. I'll be buying the 4K for sure!

Same. I think it was more the midnight showings with real cast members acting it out in front of the screen
