Hey guys! I've been thinking of a short story (possibly a longer work?) where the RHPS figures quite prominently, and I need some information about the RHPS "lifestyle".
Is there anyone out there who either (A) still attends the midnight showings in costume every weekend or (B) did it in its hayday, in the late '70's and early '80's? I'd like to know a few things about the lifestyle of the RHPS devotee. I personally love the film, have seen it many, many times, but I came along too late to do the whole theater thing with it (born in 1975). I'd probably have to be...hmmm...Janet (b*tch!).
1. How tight-knit is the community? Do you socialize outside the theater gatherings for the show, or do you only see each other for the film on the weekends?
2. How easy would it be for a newcomer to ingratiate him/herself into the community? Would it be easier if the newcomer were in costume?
3. Is the "virgin" rumor true? If you haven't seen the film in the theater before and the other attendees find out, do they pelt you with things and chant "virgin"?
Any other information about it would be greatly appreciated. You may PM me or answer here, either way, I don't mind. Thanks so much, and Let's do the time warp agaaaaain!
