Giant mouths on giant screens creep me out, but the rest of TRHPS tickles my happy place. It's an insane flick inspired by a love of B-Horror movies and cheapo sci-fi, everything from Hammer to Plan 9, with a glaze of camp that gives it a love it or hate it sheen. It has Richard O'Brien on top form, a delectable Susan Sarandon, chilled Meat loaf, and Tim Curry in fishnets.
Now, if I could remove the words "
It's just a jump to the left, and then a step to the right, with your hand on your hips, you bring your knees in tight..." from my brain at 2 a.m. then I could maybe get back to not sleeping for other reasons.

Watched this in theaters last night for its 50th anniversary. Meant to kick off my Halloween festivities, but had a shitty time. Not the fault of the film, but the fault of morons in the audience. I don't care if people want to sing along or whatever, but is it tradition to heckle everything people say on the screen? It was just one dumb cunt in the middle of the theater shouting out bullshit. Couldn't concentrate on the film at all. Meanwhile, some older person sitting next to me fell asleep so all I could hear was her snoring to my left, with the rest of the obscenities coming from behind me. One of my worst theatergoing experiences, bar none. Doesn't bode well for the rest of this month.
Anyway, just felt like venting. October 2025 might be a little skimpy on the Nut, until I can kickstart that Halloween spirit again.
RHPS at cinema has become that kind of thing over the years. It's why I'll never go to see it there. Generally, I prefer people shut the fuck up in cinemas, so as not to ruin or change the mood. I applaud enthusiasm, but save it for karaoke night.
I saw a theatre (stage) production of RHPS about 8 years ago. It was a lot of fun. The audience was a surprising mix of young and old, costumed and suited. Very odd.
Yeah, I learned later they’re called callouts. It’s stupid. It’s like amateur night MST3K. Except the entire theater was quiet except for one or two cunts in the back. It completely ruined my memory of the movie. Serves me right for leaving the house.
