If I were to go to the midnight showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show, what all would I need to take?

Asked by Dutchess_III (46811points) May 15th, 2014

I have never been to one. :( But I may go sometime if the chance ever comes up, and don’t want to be unprepared. All I really know about is the “toast.”
Someone just mentioned Scott toilet paper.
What else?

Water pistols used to be on the list but I’m guessing that has been discontinued.

Bring some paper towels so you can wipe yourself off.

Do I frow you at the screen @GloPro?

GloPro's avatar

I will wear wings just in case. And carry water guns.

Toast. Wear a rain poncho. Rice for the wedding. Newspaper for the rain.

Juels's avatar

Ohhh.. Just found a Prop List.

Holy crap @Juels! Try making it through airport security loaded with that!

Earplugs.

@Dutchess_III Get dressed for the show first. If you’re wearing garters, high heels and a corset, they won’t care what is in your carryon.

Dutchess_III's avatar

Well, THAT ain’t happening! I need to retain my dignity!

Juels's avatar

Hmm.. Maybe a maid outfit like Magenta?

Dutchess_III's avatar

I am WEARING jeans! And a shirt. A regular shirt. Not low cut, not form fitting. Just a T-shirt or, depending on the season, a sweat shirt. Maybe a KC sweatshirt.

Juels's avatar

Well, at the very least, get up and do the Time Warp.

Dutchess_III's avatar

How do you do that?

Time Warp

Have you never seen the show? I know you’ve never been to the theater to view it, but you’ve never watched at home? If not, I guess you didn’t understand my outfit references.

Dutchess_III's avatar

No, I’ve never watched it at home. Don’t recall having the opportunity too. But even if I did, I probably wouldn’t. I have a feeling that it was the audience participation that was 90% of the fun.

Juels's avatar

Definitely. It is a lot of fun in a big group. By the end of night, you’ll be yelling Slut and Asshole with everyone else. My first time, I made the mistake of going with friends that told the performers that I was a RHPS virgin. Try to lie low if you don’t like additional attention.

Rice, water pistol, newspaper, toast.

A lighter to hold up high while singing:

“There’s a light, burning in the fireplace, There’s a li-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-ight, a light, a light, in the darkness of everybody’s night.”

And a sense of humor.

Oooooooo me me! I agree with @GloPro. I wanna go with you too, girls’ night out. I’ve never been either.
