  What memories of seeing the Rocky Horror Picture Show do you have?  What references were new to you?

  I went to a Catholic university.  In 1982, we did a halftime show in tribute to Rocky Horror. All the band members were dressed like members of the cast, and our drum major was Frank, complete with corset and fishnets. It was one of the best shows we ever did!

  In the 70s, I was a young woman living in LA. A friend called me one Saturday night and told me I just had to go with her and some other people to this &quot; kinda event thingy ...I don&apos;t know what you&apos;d call it, but it&apos;s really fun&quot; It turned out to be a midnight showing of<br>&quot; The Rocky Horror Picture Show&quot; and boy, was she right! It was wild, we had a blast! Dozens of people &nbsp;dressed like movie characters. Everybody was made to feel welcome and encouraged to participate I went again, several times. Always a good time. RIP Tim Curry, the only true Dr. Frank N. Furter. He finally went home. We miss you, already, Tim. Rest easy.

  Watching this a week after Tim Curry’s passing to The Other Side. So many good memories of Tim Curry movies and good friends. The joys of randomly breaking out singing tunes from TRHPS. Thank you, Tim. You are missed❤

  I was a 15 year old mall rat kid in New Jersey in 1995 when I started going to midnight shadowcast screenings at the Harwan Theatre in Mt. Ephraim. I won virgin of the week the first time by going up on the stage and disrobing down to a lingerie nightie that I borrowed (unknowingly) from my mom&apos;s closet when someone came and put their hand above my head for applause. I was there for Sal Piro&apos;s special event 25 anniversary tour and meeting him felt like meeting a celebrity. <br>When I got the DVD, I would come home after school every day and watch it at least once, but often twice in a row. It kept me going. I made friends, felt a deep connection and sense of belonging, and it was really my first queer chosen family. I also wrote Tim Curry a piece of fan mail when I was 16 and included a class picture of myself. As a 45 year old, I look back at that and cringe for my younger self...but also it was kind of sweet, despite being embarrassing and silly.

  I was 13 in 1979 and went to my friend&apos;s slumber party and we went to see it at the midnight movie. I fell in LOVE and remain so today. My children know the movie and I had it all memorized long before it ever came out on VHS. It instantly made me feel like there was a world for me. I think I&apos;ve always been a rebel and the craziness of it spoke to me. RIP, Tim Curry. You made us all smile.

  In 1975, I was 29 and living in Austin when the local FM station gave away a Rocky Horror poster; and a friend and I went to the very first Rocky Horror film showing. &nbsp;❤

  I love watching Tim’s close ups. &nbsp;His isolated &nbsp;facial expressions were stellar. &nbsp;I just adored him.
