As The Rocky Horror Picture Show plays on a screen behind them, members of the audience take to the stage to dance to the "time warp" song. The movie is almost secondary to the actions of the crowd who yell out lines of dialog and come on stage often to act with the characters on-screen. Photo Gallery
