Even though the Rocky Horror Picture Show premiered in 1975, fans still have fun dressing as their favorite characters to attend midnight showings of the movie. If you have several offbeat friends that would get a kick out of dressing up as characters from the movie, you should make your next shindig a Rocky Horror theme party.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Make your own party invitations using your home computer and printer. Create the invitation by using an image or collage of images from the movie.

  2. Step 2

    Tell all guests that they must dress as a Rocky Horror Picture character. To ensure that you won't have 20 Dr. Frank-N-Furters in attendance, you can add character assignments to each invitation. For example, "You are Janet," or "You are Magenta." For laughs, pick the guy with the biggest belly to be "Rocky."

  3. Step 3

    Decorate the party room like a lab. Use the "slab" as the open bar area.

  4. Step 4

    Set up a karaoke machine with songs from Rocky Horror. Have each character sing his/her song from the movie. Spread this out throughout the evening, so that not everyone sings one right after the other.

  5. Step 5

    A few times throughout the evening, at random intervals, turn up the sound system and blast "The Time Warp," so that everyone can do the dance together.

  6. Step 6

    Have the movie running on a repetitive loop on as many tv screens as you can. Have them playing on "mute," so that everyone can enjoy one another's conversation and the music you're playing.

  7. Step 7

    Begin or end the party by attending a showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show movie together if it's playing at your local theater.
