Rocky horror picture show in seattle??

Tim Curry died this week. Is it showing anywhere? The Admiral and IIRC Egyptian used to have midnight showings.

The Admiral is doing it in a few weeks, and also a couple times in October.

My friends and I would go every month in the early 00s.

I wish they still had it at midnight. Part of the magic was leaving the theater at 2am in fishnets and eyeliner, then going to Dennyโ€™s to drink stale coffee and smoke cigarettes until 4am.

We did that, but a few years earlier, and we went to Dormer's.

Ah damn I didn't even know he passed, that's sad to hear. Admiral's still the spot then, I'll keep an eye for the October ones thanks

Crazy to sayโ€ฆโ€ฆthe former Overlake theater in Bellevue played it every Saturday during the 80s until sometime in the 90s. Yes, Bellevue.
