The cult classic that defined midnight movies is turning 50 — and fans worldwide are invited to celebrate at the official Rocky Horror Picture Show 50th Anniversary Convention, September 27, 2025 weekend, in Los Angeles, California, produced in partnership with Lou Adler.
The celebration takes place at The Roxy — the iconic venue where The Rocky Horror Show first debuted in the U.S. — with a full day of festivities. Highlights include appearances by original cast members Tim Curry (Dr. Frank-N-Furter), Barry Bostwick (Brad), Patricia Quinn (Magenta), and Little Nell (Columbia), as well as shadowcast preshows, live panels, a memorabilia auction, trivia and costume contests, exclusive merchandise, and more.
Special programming will feature a heartfelt memorial to Sal Piro, beloved president of the Rocky Horror Picture Show Fan Club, presented by his sister Lilias Piro. Fans can also look forward to a presentation by Tim Deegan — the Fox marketing executive who helped launch Rocky Horror onto the midnight circuit and author of Saving Rocky Horror: From Orphan to Icon.
The weekend’s screenings include the final cut of the fan documentary Rocky Horror Saved My Life, hosted by director Shawn Stutler, and Strange Journey, Linus O’Brien’s award-winning exploration of the history and cultural impact of both The Rocky Horror Show and The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Adding to the excitement, Scott Stander Productions will present details on the upcoming Rocky Horror Picture Show North American tour, along with exclusive announcements about special Rocky Horror events happening throughout Los Angeles this October.
All this and much much more. Get your tickets today!
Beyond the events at the Roxy, there will also be a special screening of The Rocky Horror Picture Show by the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures at the David Geffen Theater. There will also be a screening of Shock Treatment, the 1981 followup to Rocky Horror that tells the continuing adventures of Brad and Janet. This screening takes place at Landmark’s Nuart Theatre. Separate admission is required for both events.
