The article highlights that The Rocky Horror Picture Show is celebrating its 50th anniversary, having run continuously in theaters for five decades, excluding a brief pandemic interruption[1]. Originally a successful off-Broadway musical, the film initially flopped upon its 1975 release due to marketing challenges for its sexually free and queer themes[1]. However, it found new life as a midnight movie, attracting a cult following of outcasts and party-goers worldwide[1]. A recent CBS Sunday Morning segment featured original cast members like Susan Sarandon, Barry Bostwick, and Tim Curry, with Curry giving a rare interview about his character's lasting impact[1]. The film's themes of escapism and sexual identity are considered more relevant than ever today[1]. The Rocky Horror Picture Show continues to play at midnight screenings and will be released on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray on October 7[1].
