Episode notes
Screening Roomers, it's time to do the time warp to April 1st, 1976... to the first midnight showing of THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW at the Waverly Theater in New York City... but let's first take a jump to the left and find out how we got there with our guest this morning - author Tim Deegan (Saving "Rocky Horror" From Orphan to Icon) - who as former Advertising Manager at Fox through his own dogged determination and the inspiration of Stanley Kubrick (yep) turned a box office flop into a midnight movie classic that is still playing in theaters around the world to this day - 50-years later!!! It's a true story stranger than its own fiction that proves - don't dream it... be it.
