This classic Tim Curry movie tests an audience that leaves the stage early

50 years after its release, The “rock horror images” is still strong. For several generations, now, “Rocky Horror” was constantly presented at midnight shows, which are usually accompanied by sincere shadow columns, which leads to reactivating the film’s events on stage. The film is somewhat loud, but the fans were encouraged to be frankly. Anger and sex are also presented with great frankness, and a festive tone. Young and adolescent adolescents can attend “Rocky horror” and feel at home, encouraging to express themselves to the maximum extent permitted their hearts. Depending on the atmosphere in the room, you can even find someone. Rocky was a party that was urgent, changing tone, and adapting to five decades.

The film was based on the play, “The Rocky Horror Show”, written by Richard O’Brien at a inevitable moment in his life. The Musical took her signals from the Rock Glam icon, and returned it with “The Old Dark House”, and strange science fiction movies that O’Brien loved as a child. The main characters were clean Major and Janet Weiss, who met in Gothic Castle during a rainstorm. Residents of the castle, as happens, are the dual -sex space foreigners who are dancing in days, conducting Frankstein’s experiences, and committing human meat eating work. It is a good time, good.

Of course, many enthusiasts of the film will be able to tell you that “rock terror” was opened in 1975 for poor notifications and very low box office receipts. In fact, some of the fans of the early test of the film came out. In the music theater, Tim Curie played the role of Dr. Frank-Ni Forter, a role back to adapt the movie. It is one of the most famous Carrie offers. It is difficult to resist. However, those masses early resisted well testing them. Remember Carrie Get out well, which is what he talked about A recent interview with the Los Angeles Times.

The film was filmed with a limited budget of only $ 1.4 million. Suzan Sarandon star It spoke repeatedly about the coldness of wet imaging conditions, as the film was filmed in a real castle … without heating. She and Bari Bosstok played the role of Janet and Brad, and played O’Brien, the role of the Riff Rav Rav assistant, Patricia Quinn played his sister Magna, and played Little Nile the role of the Colombia group. TWINK-Monster Times played by Bodybuilding player Peter Henwood. Play Leaf Loaf Motorcycle On Dadd, Eddie.

Carrie recalls watching the full movie in 20th Century Fox, and how executives have not given any reaction at all. With his words: “You can touch silence in the end. (…) It was not a very living audience. There was no reaction at all.” This is not a good sign. The brand became worse when it’s time to test “Rocky horror” for a public public. In their limited wisdom, Fox elected hosting of this wild rock music at the outside of the road in Santa Barbara, California. This was a theater full of the elderly and a large group of unique university children. Watch the kidney children to the end. The elderly did not bother. “The Rocky Horror Picure Show” seems to be sentenced.

The film was eventually released in the United States on September 26, 1975. It started at the UA Theater in Westwood, California, and a few other theaters around Los Angeles, with the intention of expanding it to eight additional cities across the country. Westwood must be explained, next to the University of California in Los Angeles, and university students flocked to the theater to see the new dust dust. It was a blow … but only on this site. Because it failed elsewhere, its broader release was reduced.

Fox did not know what to do with their strange failure. They tried to run a dual feature with Brian De Palma on the “The Phantom of the Paradise”, but that did not move the needle financially. In 1975, there was a new scene. Many theaters have found that they can examine the strangest films and more modern films that start in the middle of the night, and ignite huge amounts of dough from the smoking night dough. Films such as “El Topo”, “Pink Flamingos” and “Night of the Living Dead” earned huge sums of money on the midnight circuit, and one of the executives in Fox “Rocky horror” may be completely appropriate.

He was. “Rocky Rocks” was opened in the Wever’s theaters in New York City on April 1, 1976, and people began to appear in large numbers. Tim Curry happened only to live near Wiferley at the time, and wandered down to find out the shape of the fans. He was positively accompanied. The entire theater was exciting and ready -made people. “It was a kind of guaranteed parties,” Carrie said. “And if he does not attend an appointment, he may find one.” Word spread quickly, and “rock terror” began to book in other New York theaters. Then it spread to other cities. By the early eighties, she was playing in the middle of the night, on a weekly basis, from the coast to the coast. The Nuwaret Theater in Los Angeles is still running to this day, as the film plays every Saturday night with the living shadow sins in the body. In fact, Fox “Rocky horror” did not withdraw from the general release, so it is the tallest movie in the history of cinema.
