Not exclusively. The group I went with in high school included a black guy who went to every showing. He was the ringleader of the RHPS fans at our school

We used to go at midnight with our toilet paper, toast, water pistols, newspapers, etc. I caught a bit of it on Fox the other night and remembered all the audience lines (but then they had that fake audience there saying some of them, weird).

+1. Hard to replicate that. The audience lines would often change based on locale and time too. I grew up in a university town and there were definitely some dogs against the local Greek system, and I feel like some against Reagan too. I can't remember them but they seemed very witting and cutting edge when I was 15.

Was this Chapel Hill?

I don't understand it either. But since it's not 1988 anymore, it doesn't much matter.

Dr. Frankenfurter would never discrimate. The good doctor was open to all comers. You could appropriate him all you wanted.

Eh? What happened in 1988? Rocky Horror came out in the 70s. I was in high school then, and we went to the midnight shows. There was always audience participation. I'll still watch it once in a while when it's on television. Low-budget camp fun.
