The Rocky Horror Picture Show

A different set of jaws.

Let’s do the Time Warp… Again!

There is no better way to get into the spirit of Halloween than THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW! This cult-classic rock movie musical has been giving absolute pleasure to adoring audiences “spaced out on sensations like they’re under sedation” for over four decades, and there’s absolutely no better time to see and experience this pop-culture landmark than the the way it is meant to be seen – on the big screen, in the dark, and with a raucous Rio Theatre audience who are just as into it as you are.

Whether you’re a Virgin or a veteran, you’ll have a blast!

Even better? All of our screenings will feature hosts, who will be on-hand to guide the Virgins (and veterans!) through all the do’s-and-don’ts of this monumentally experiential cinematic phenomenon.

As always, costumes and audience participation are highly encouraged – because costume contest! (In other words: Prizes! Here’s your chance to go all out and let your freak flag fly, people.) The ticket price includes a fun prop bag, too.

Your own props are also, of course,  very welcome, but pleasewhatever you doDO NOT BRING RICE OR CONFETTI!

Please note: The Rio Theatre’s screenings of THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW tend to sell out at Halloween! We strongly encourage making plans and getting tickets in advance to ensure entry, and avoid sadface.
