It's good to hear that the Rocky Horror Picture Show has found a new home in Austin. Booted from their longtime home as the weekend midnighter at the Northcross Theatre, a clan of devoted filmgoers has found a new lease on life at the Wells Branch Discount Cinema. This cult film has played an uninterrupted (until now) run in Austin for the past 21 years. Marriages have formed, generations have come and gone, and still Rocky Horror reigns supreme in the hearts of many and provides a distinctly unique diversion for the occasional daytripper. For the Rocky Horror experience is so much more than a night at the movies; it's a whole theatrical dress-up party and interactive audience event. This run is a temporary four-week engagement for midnight shows on Friday and Saturday but everyone hopes that the things manage to continue on for a spell. Beam us up...
