? The Rocky Horror Picture Show? didn?t invent midnight screenings, but the Tim Curry and Susan Sarandon starring musical turned the phenomenon into an art form.
The film celebrates its 40th anniversary this week. It opened Sept. 26, 1975, advertised with the iconic poster of a lipsticked mouth with the tagline ?A different set of jaws? ? a reference to Steven Spielberg?s shark movie, which had opened three months earlier.
?Rocky Horror? ended up earning more than $100 million in the U.S.
