The most notorious of all midnight movies, The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a rock-opera-comedy that was released in 1975 and is still played in countless theaters internationally. The plot is, shall we say, complicated – check out the Wikipedia page to get some idea of what the hell happens. Involved stage productions are acted out as the film is played, with cast member-created costumes and props to match ones used on-screen. These scandalous performances require constant audience participation – skimpy attire, water guns, and shouting insults at the screen are encouraged [but not required].
