I have to work early Saturday morning, so I may go to the showing late tonight rather than actually on Halloween tomorrow night.
They’re showing it in a big auditorium on campus, I was planning on going. I’ve seen the movie dozens of times on TV and DVD, basically know it by heart, and know some of the audience callbacks. So I figured it would be fun to finally see it where people do all the stuff on stage and what-not.
I was just planning on showing up, watching the movie, and having a good time yelling things. But I was given to understand that the audience even usually dresses up as a character, and I don’t really have the stuff necessary to costume as a character (not even a tuxedo.) Am I going to really stick out then, or is it more casual?
Is there anything else I ought to know? Should I try to bring at least a few of the props? (the non-throwing ones, anyways.) Comments?
Yup, listen to bughunter. You can’t go wrong doing that.
You don’t have to dress up in character, but maybe Brad would be easy for you?
As far as props…newspaper, rice, playing cards, toast, I think toilet paper and I think water gun (though they might request you not use some of the props for post-show cleanup purposes). I can’t think of others at the moment but that’s a good start.
You don’t have to dress as a character. Actually, nowadays you can pretty much dress any way you want…or go in your halloween costume and have a good time. Or you could just wear black and get hold of some red, red, red lipstick, and go as THE LIPS.
…If you plan on turning yourself in as a Virgin, then you should dress in clothes that are easy to move in, wear good underwear and socks, and pray for mercy.
Things to remember:
You MUST stand up and do the time warp during the song.
Don’t **** with the hair.
If you bring a lighter, you must turn it off when Brad and Janet sing “in the -->darkness,” otherwise, you’ll look like quite the Virgin.
I can’t remember the last time I was in a theatre that let you use throwing props, so don’t even bother with them.
Even if the auditorium is crowded, do NOT sit in the aisle - the cast will need to use the aisles a lot, and it’ll be a much better show if they aren’t tripping. (um, well, tripping over people anyway. )
There is no rule number six.
Also, if someone spots you or outs you as a Virgin, don’t fight it. Later, you will appreciate having a good story to tell.
if you’re seeing it on campus, i went twice there, once in my lawyer costume and once without costume, and no one cared what i wore. A guy wearing a santa claus costume and a bra hit on me, but he hit one everyone and was high on about 50 different things.
Yeah, it’s on campus, if I knew you’d gone I just wouldda asked you last time I called. :smack: I guess that’ll learn me to remember the things my friends have done from now on.
I was pretty sure gay men don’t usually find overweight guys attractive so that probably won’t happen to me, but then again I bet if anyone was into big men it’d be Transexual Santa Roll over Mrs Claus, we’re tryin something new tonight!!
