Fright Fest 26: The Rocky Horror Picture Show

The Rocky Horror Picture Show is coming to the Stephen Joseph Theatre on Saturday 31 October, as part of the venue's Fright Fest 26 programme. It's a live singalong screening of the 1975 cult classic, so you're not just sitting there watching it — you're singing along with the rest of the room.

For those who haven't seen it, the story follows sweethearts Brad and Janet, whose car breaks down in a storm outside the eerie mansion of Dr. Frank-N-Furter. Inside they find a houseful of wild characters, including a rocking biker and a creepy butler, and the night takes a turn when Frank-N-Furter unveils his latest creation: a muscular man named Rocky. The film is rated 12A and runs for one hour and forty minutes.

Because it's a singalong, the audience is encouraged to dress up for a costume competition with prizes, so if you've got something suitably flamboyant in the wardrobe, this is the night to bring it out. It's a screening that runs in the velvet darkness of the blackest night, fitting for a Halloween session.

Tickets are £12, and the screening starts at 7:45pm. It's part of Fright Fest 26, and if you're planning on seeing more than one, there's 20% off when you book three or more screenings with the code FRIGHTFEST26.
