The Rocky Horror Picture Show - A Mistake I Will Never Make Again

This past weekend, I went to the Rocky Horror Picture Show and, let me tell you, it was absolutely crazy! I didn't think that the show would be so outrageous or wacky, but, guess what, it was! As soon as we got into the theatre, there was a woman screaming at the top of her lungs, "Buy a Rocky bag!!!" The bag was $2, and all it had in it was toilet paper, rubber gloves, playing cards, and a noise-maker. It just seems too crazy for me to spend two whole dollars on that stuff...stuff that I can get from my own home for free! Once the show started, people were yelling obscenities all over the place! There were a lot of "F" Bombs floating around, along with a variety of profanities that I had never even heard before. The movie itself had no point to it, but the call lines sure did! They were there so that drunk audience members could get rid of their frustrations by talking back to the screen. And since I was there for the first time, I was considered a "virgin." At the beginning of the show, I, along with every other "virgin" in the theatre, had to stand up and be married to the movie by some random guy that works on the crew of the show. He said that we would have to frequent the show every month for the rest of our natural-born lives. Now, here's the thing. I went to the show once, but I'm never going back there again! It's pure madness there and I don't want to be a part of it, tattoos and all. So the next time you feel like seeing the Rocky Horror Picture Show, feel free to sidestep the crazy men with tattoos, the drag queens, the crazy lady with the lungs of steel, or the profane audience that talks to the TV screen. Go at your own risk!
