Yes Yes!!!!

Thanks for sharing. 🩵

So damn good!

One of the greatest film entrances of all time, since Katharine Hepburn came gliding down in her elevator, in Suddenly Last Summer.

Dam it habit

I need A happy ending to this story 🤓

The number of times I've heard "It's just a jump to the left ... " at weddings. 😂

I have never seen it. I did love him in Annie with Carol Burnett and Bernadette Peters.

One of my oldest friends, who unfortunately passed away last year, told me that watching Rocky Horror as child was the first time he realized there were other gay people, people who might understand him. It changed his life. RIP Tim Curry.

This was how I was introduced to Tim Curry at the age of 15 during a midnight movie.

that was a whole lot of fun back in the day. getting to shout out the lines and interact with the movie at late showings seemed decadent to us teenagers.

AMEN. I started going down to Philly's South Street in the late 70s to see it. Lifechanging.

Fantastic, so happy that it helped you be you!❤️🤗 I loved Tim.

I hated everything that was normal as a kid… this was not normal. I found my peeps at the monthly midnight showings. Humor. Freedom. Gender bending sexuality. Meat Loaf gets murdered. Count me in! 😂

There must be other folks who lived in Cambridge (MA) during college & remember the Rocky Horror Picture Show as an audience participation event?

Who TF is Steve Reeves?!?!😆😆… come up to the lab, and…😉me on the slab!! Now do cards for sorrow…✌️🙏

SARANDON ?

The first movie i watched once i was in college, with my own computer instead of a family one

This film is like a Frankenstein/Dracula mashup with the weirdness to all the way up. There's nothing like it.

He’s doing the great time warp in the sky now.

Thanks for posting this.

Very well said. Thanks ❤️

Most of us got rice in our eyes during the wedding sequence and still went back for more. It was an institution. One pointer was to always bring multiple water guns.

Guessing I'm older than a lot of you, but I lived in a small city when RHPS came out & I can remember my older friend taking us to see it when it played at our art house cinema in the late 70s. It was my 1st exposure to trans & I was VERY confused by my tingles. That was supposed to be "wrong."

Noooooooo

Absolutely spot on. My mum took me to see Rocky Horror at the Alice Springs open air cinema when I was 13! Absolutely loved the movie and still do. Watch it at least once a year. Tim Curry’s performance was perfect. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

I always wonder, how USA managed to “evolve” from country of “Rocky Horror Show”… to “Horror Show” :( R.I.P.

It was our Wizard of Oz

Brilliant brilliant brilliant acting by Tim...

He was 🔥🔥🔥

Hi PT. As a young straight kid who grew up in the inner city, I’m not 60, I started going to the midnight showing of Rocky Horror and it was an annual ritual for years back then. I loved it and Tim Curry and I love you and the gay and trans community.

phenomenal

No, Kansas, in a suburb just outside of Downtown. So glad to hear it was actually a nationwide celebration of that movie because I think those nights were the most fun I ever had as a teen

We had the same thing in Torrance, CA. We would dread up & go as often as possible!

From the first time I that movie, I believe Tim Curry was born to play that role... no one, I mean no one else.

Damn right! After watching a midnight show, I came out to my Mom, finally. She was . . . well . . . rural-southern cool about it.

This is how I found out. 🥺

Ooops. Forget to include this in my comment.

I finished my first rewatch in years a few hours ago. A titan of cinema has left us, but his masterpieces remain, and I love this one especially.

I will always appreciate how this character and movie was there for one of my first cousins growing up. It hurt to see him hurting so much growing up as a gay person. As a family we were there for him, but there was so much hate from the outside sometimes. This character was like medicine for him.

All bangers. All of em!

😱 Saw this movie with lighters and bread for “toast,” among other things, too many times to count RIP Tim Curry

simply iconic. I have watched that movie many times over the years and it never disappoints.

I was 17 when I started college in '82, and "Rocky Horror" was still getting play in small theaters to a dedicated following. While I am straight, it was tremendous fun to dress up and participate in such a flamboyant and welcoming spectacle! The whole cast was exceptional, but Tim Curry made it🤩

I'm glad it made life better, if not easier for our LGBTQ+ brethren. I'd argue it was important for the cis gendered population that grew up in rural areas too! Not because we were oppressed, but because many of us lacked exposure to an important part of the community that was shrouded in shame/fear

With a young Susan Sarandon!♥️

"Don't dream it.... be it." RIP Tim Curry

Can’t love this more!!!

It led me to a community of others like me

1973

Tim Curry was the original Frankenfurter in the London Production. I was there and I was awake and somewhere I have the Arthur Murray dance steps to the Time Warp dropped from the ceiling

Now we're all "just a little brought down" because damn death knocked & He took away our Candyman !

Omg that look on his face after "pretty groovy" 😂😂😂

Slut!

💔💜

💞😀

Same. I was looking for a good place to share this exact sentiment.

Well said sir.

So many gay things happening with these deaths 😭

I went to a 50th anniversary screening and was thrilled to see that my crew was the oldest crew there. Well done young folk!

I’m just a regular straight guy but Rocky Horror in my teens helped me understand being different is a cause of celebration and not division. A formative film with an iconic lead performance. “Well, how ‘bout that…”
