The Rocky Horror Picture Show premiered on Sept. 26, 1975, and became a cult classic. For five decades, fans have worn fishnets while singing and dancing to “The Time Warp.”
In honor of its golden anniversary, there will be events across Dallas-Fort Worth celebrating with viewing parties, drag shows, performances and a special guest appearance by Barry Bostwick, who played Brad Majors.
Here’s a guide to some Rocky Horror events happening in North Texas.
