It’s hard to express just how important The Rocky Horror Picture Show was and is to millions of fans. The movie is popping up in screenings all over the country as part of the 2025 movie schedule thanks to celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. With the milestone, there has come the expected evaluations of what the movie still means all these years later.
One aspect of the movie that has kept it so relevant for so long is its pioneering spot in Queer culture. Without a doubt, countless members of the LGBTQ+ community first found acceptance as fans and shadow cast members at the legendary midnight showings over the years. That important aspect hasn’t been lost on the original cast of Rocky Horror, either, including Tim Curry and Nell Campbell, who opened up about it recently.
