THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW
HBO, 12:00 a.m. ET
Speaking of movie anniversaries, another movie that came out 40 years ago, getting a special television telecast tonight, is the 1975 cult film The Rocky Horror Picture Show – shown by HBO, quite appropriately, as a midnight movie. That’s how, in theaters, this musical movie comedy went from initial obscurity to major cult status, as young audiences gathered to sing along, dress along, and do the time warp again. Tim Curry stars, with support from such future stars as Susan Sarandon (pictured), Barry Bostwick, Meat Loaf and others.
