Come do the Time Warp with us as Horror Queers celebrates 400 episodes with The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975). 

Created by Richard O'Brien and Jim Sharman, we track the film's origin from successful stage musical to box office failure to midnight cult phenomenon.

Plus: all things Tim Curry; shadow casts; our favorite musical numbers; contemporary complaints of misogyny and ableism; and celebrating unapologetic queer sexuality.
