We totally time warped last night as the Valhalla Boathouse Theater hosted the Rocky Horror Picture Show for the very first time (and our first time seeing it too).  What a fun, weird phenomenon our night was (which ended at 1 AM).  I wouldn't have missed it!

The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)  is a parody of B-movie, science fiction and horror films of the late 1940s through early 1970s.  Still in limited release nearly 37 years after its premiere, it has the longest-running theatrical release in film history. It gained notoriety as a midnight movie in 1977 when audiences began participating with the film in theaters. The reference in the movie poster, "a difference set of jaws", has to do with the fact that three months earlier, Jaws, the film had just been released.

I came as a Transylvanian party guest with costumes being a free-for-all.  I loved it.

Carl and Mike cracked me up.  It was Carl's idea to bring Rocky to Tahoe and during the entire movie he was the voice that kept yelling from the audience.  What a hoot!

There was a costume contest and I thought this man was Super!

There is a great deal of "cross dressing" in the film, and this boy, whose mom probably wasn't even born when this movie came out, kept in character the entire evening and was a crowd favorite.

Every guest was given a goodie bag of props.  While putting them together, I had no idea what any of the items were for:  a rubber glove, newspaper, playing cards, etc.  As the movie progressed, I understood, and I especially liked, when everyone illuminated the boathouse with their candles.  It was amazing and difficult to explain but  what an astounding night!
