I finally got to see it on TV, but I know it's not the same. When ST IV hit the theatres it was like a roller coaster ride in the audience as we waited for the film to start. Maybe that was kinda what Rocky Horror was like(?)
I think it's neat when stuff like that come out and people just have fun socially without all the "invisible barrier" nonsense. We as a society need more events like that to realize how much fun it is just to be alive, and be happy we have others to share that joy with.

Nice post Muffit!
mmmm coookies for Muffit. Are you saying though that the theater was destroyed or in shambles due to the Rocky Horror picture show?
I haven't seen ST IV. but it's fun because it's full audience participation they the audience as a group yell out certain lines back at the screen , they throw stuff in the air in unison (like when they say here is a toast everyone throws toast in the air, the other items were deck of cards, noise makers, squirt guns, party hats, newspapers, and rice) they are all dressed as their favorite character, and then they have a bunch of people on stage in front of the screen acting out the whole movie, it's quite something to see, a real bonding fest, for fans.
