Emcee Susan Steffee is the longest running Rocky Horror Picture Show emcee in the entire country!  In 2007, Susan celebrated her 20 year anniversary with a huge party and some great coverage from Sean Means in the Salt Lake Tribune

First timers welcome!  So bring a group of friends and experience the all hallows eve like never before. 

Costumes and fishnets encouraged.

After TOWER OF TERROR, the next opportunity to see midnight cult classics will be for our SUMMER OF 35 MM program in June 2010

Picture
Starring John Cusack, Kevin Spacey, Jack Thompson, Irma P. Hall, Jude Law, Alison Eastwood, Paul Hipp, and Lady Chablis

A scandalous murder trial lays bare the secrets and pretensions the genteel townfolk of Savannah, GA, hold dear. (Warner Bros.)




"Eastwood essentially uses the Lady Chablis the same way he did a few extended Charlie Parker solos in Bird--as unbridled, inventive improvisations that challenge the well-rehearsed "head" arrangements of everyone else." Jonathan Rosenbaum, CHICAGO READER
